Heat vs. Freezing for the Back of the Heart
This trial tests two ways to treat the back wall of the heart's left chamber in people with stubborn atrial fibrillation. It compares radiofrequency (heat) and cryoablation (freezing) to see which is safer and works better.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT06263920Recruiting
Study on late-onset epilepsy and its links
This study looks at people who had their first seizure or were diagnosed with epilepsy after age 18, and compares them to people with migraine. The goal is to understand what might be connected to epilepsy that starts later in life.
Preston, LancashireAges 18 years+ - NCT06289569Recruiting
Home therapy for recovery after stroke-related dementia
This trial tests a home-based therapy program for people who have had a stroke that led to vascular dementia. The therapy focuses on improving arm and hand movement, and it is done remotely with a caregiver's help.
Houston, TexasAges 18–110 - NCT06289985Recruiting
Expanding clot removal for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new approach to see if removing clots from medium-sized brain blood vessels can help more patients recover from stroke. It aims to expand the use of a standard clot-removal procedure to people with less severe symptoms or blockages in smaller vessels.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06305949Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve swallowing after stroke
This trial tests a gentle electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) to see if it helps improve swallowing after a first-time stroke. It is designed for people who are at least 3 weeks post-stroke and still have swallowing problems.

Home glove helps stroke survivors use their arm
This study tests a home-use glove (SaeboGlove®) that may help people who had a stroke grip and hold objects with their hand. It looks at how using the glove affects arm function and what factors help people stick with the program.
ToulouseAges 18–90 - NCT06313866Recruiting
Herbal sniffing therapy plus acupuncture for stroke-related thinking problems
This trial tests if combining traditional Chinese herbal sniffing therapy with electroacupuncture can improve memory and thinking after a stroke. It may help people who are still in the early recovery phase.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Up to 70 years - NCT06319846RecruitingPhase 3
Tirofiban for recent mild stroke or TIA with narrowed brain artery

Early ablation for afib to prevent stroke in high-risk patients
This trial tests whether an early procedure (catheter ablation) for atrial fibrillation (AF) can prevent strokes in people with a high risk of stroke. The goal is to see if this treatment is safer and more effective than standard care for patients with other health conditions.
Multiple LocationsAges 18 years+ - NCT07511049RecruitingPhase 2

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,752 recruiting stroke studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a stroke trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a stroke trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
