TaichungAges 18–90 - NCT06786000Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus hand therapy for stroke recovery
This trial tests a combination of mild electrical brain stimulation and a special hand therapy program to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for adults who had a stroke more than three months ago and still have moderate to mild arm weakness.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05155137RecruitingPhase 3
Daily pill and home risk check to prevent stroke and memory loss
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a daily “polypill” plus a simple home risk-check plan can lower the chance of stroke and future thinking/memory problems. It is aimed at adults at moderate risk but who have not had stroke or heart disease before.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 50–75 - NCT07456956Recruiting
Exercise comparison for muscle loss after stroke
This trial compares two types of leg exercise programs (high-intensity vs. moderate-intensity interval training) to see which better helps rebuild muscle strength and function in people who have had a stroke within the past 1 to 6 months.
Istanbul, AtaşehirAges 18–80 - NCT07453940Enrolling by invitation
Closing off heart pouch with or without pulsed energy in atrial fibrillation
This study tests if adding a special energy treatment (pulsed field ablation) to a standard heart pouch closure is safe and works better for people with persistent atrial fibrillation who have few symptoms but a high risk of stroke.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07458503Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus arm therapy for stroke recovery
This study tests a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.
Belém, ParáAges 40–80 - NCT02693223Recruiting
Get With the Guidelines Stroke Registry for people with recent stroke
This study collects health information from people who were recently treated for certain types of stroke or “TIA” (a warning stroke). It helps doctors understand care and improve future treatment, and you may be included if you were treated in the hospital for one of these conditions.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–125 - NCT07452276Recruiting
AI brain training for stroke recovery
This trial tests a computerized brain-training program that uses artificial intelligence to help people with memory problems after a stroke. If you are between 45 and 60 and had a stroke at least 3 months ago, you may be able to join.
Cairo, EgyptAges 45–60 - NCT06585228Recruiting
Heart CT vs ultrasound to find clots after stroke
This study compares two ways to look for blood clots in the heart after a stroke: a heart CT scan and an ultrasound done through the food pipe. It aims to see if the CT scan can spot clots just as well as the more invasive ultrasound.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05378490Recruiting
Study of stroke types and thrombolysis treatment
This study includes people who have had certain kinds of sudden brain blood-flow problems (like an ischemic stroke, bleeding in the brain, or a brief warning episode) or conditions that look similar. It looks at how treatment such as clot-busting medicine (thrombolysis) fits for these situations.
LørenskogAges 18 years+ - NCT07426354Enrolling by invitation
Sensory feedback and mirror therapy for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether combining sensory feedback with mirror therapy can help people who have had a stroke improve arm movement. It may be a good option if you are at least three months past your stroke and have some but limited arm function.
New Taipei CityAges 20–85 - NCT07407790Recruiting
Smartphone heart check after stroke
This study tests whether using a smartphone app to check your heart rhythm after a stroke can find hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). If you had a recent stroke or TIA and are not already on blood thinners, you may be able to help doctors detect and prevent future strokes.
KristiansandAges 18 years+ - NCT07411664Enrolling by invitation
Balance and walking study for stroke, Parkinson's, or multiple sclerosis
This study uses special motion-tracking tools to measure balance and trunk control in people with first-time stroke, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand how these conditions affect stability, which could help tailor rehabilitation.
Kaposvár, Somogy CountyAges 18–80 - NCT07411534Enrolling by invitation
Individual vs. co-treatment for stroke rehabilitation
This trial compares two ways of doing physical and occupational therapy after a stroke: having separate sessions (individual) or one session with both therapists at the same time (co-treatment). The goal is to see which approach helps patients get better faster.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07414732Recruiting
Testing a new approach to help stroke survivors take blood pressure pills
This trial tests a simple program to help people who have had a stroke stick with their blood pressure medication. It uses text messages and a medication organizer to make it easier to remember pills and keep blood pressure under control.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–99 - NCT07379190RecruitingPhase 3
Tirofiban for late window stroke due to artery plaque
This trial tests whether a drug called tirofiban can help people who had a stroke more than 24 hours ago but within 7 days. It is for strokes caused by a buildup of plaque in a large brain artery, and uses a special MRI to confirm the cause.
Weifang, China/Shandong ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07367633Recruiting
Head position after clot removal for stroke
This trial tests whether keeping the head of the bed flat or elevated after a mechanical clot-removal procedure affects recovery. It may help determine the best position to improve outcomes after a stroke caused by a large blockage in a brain artery.
Greater Sudbury, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05591196Recruiting
Electrical spinal stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment meant to help people regain hand and arm movement after a stroke. You would attend frequent therapy-style sessions, and the team would track your arm function over about eight months.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–80 - NCT07347665Recruiting
Endovascular therapy for M2 segment stroke
This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot from a specific branch of a brain artery (the M2 segment) helps people recover from a stroke better than standard care alone. It is for people who have had a moderate to severe stroke within the past 24 hours and could not get clot-dissolving medicine or it didn't work.
