Recruiting studies
- NCT06541691Recruiting
Aspirin for heart disease patients in polluted air
This study tests if different types of aspirin (coated or chewable) and a special schedule can help people with heart or blood vessel disease when they are exposed to air pollution. If you live in Tehran and have stable heart disease, you may be able to join.

Predicting stroke treatment success with a blood test
This trial studies a blood marker called sTREM to see if it can help predict outcomes after a mechanical clot removal procedure (endovascular thrombectomy) for large-vessel stroke. If you have had a stroke due to a large artery blockage within the last 24 hours and plan to have this procedure, you may be able to join.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06545786Recruiting

Testing a new aspiration catheter for large vessel stroke
This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06560203Recruiting
Basilar artery stroke trial for later treatment
This trial tests if endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot) can help people who have had a stroke in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and can be treated within 72 hours, even if they are not eligible for clot-dissolving medicine. The treatment may improve recovery compared to standard care alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06573359Recruiting
Expanded rehab scale study for stroke survivors
This study aims to test a new scale that measures rehabilitation complexity for stroke patients. It could help doctors better plan your rehab.
Istanbul, BahçelievlerAges 2 months–6 months - NCT06577467Recruiting
Studying leftover virus after covid recovery
This study looks for signs of leftover SARS-CoV-2 virus in people who have fully recovered from COVID-19, including those with ongoing neurological symptoms (like brain fog, fatigue, or nerve pain). It aims to understand why some people have long-lasting symptoms after infection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT06587308Recruiting
How pressure garments affect arm function after stroke
This study tests whether wearing special pressure garments on the arm can improve movement, feeling, and quality of life for people who have had a stroke. It may help if you have some arm weakness but not too much tightness or other health problems.
Weifang, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06589700Recruiting
Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke Risk Study
This study looks at the link between the type of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that comes and goes) and the risk of having another stroke. It involves people who have had a recent ischemic stroke and have a certain type of AF.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06596369RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Spinal cord stimulation for arm function after injury or stroke
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over your spine can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury or stroke. It is for people with some preserved movement in their upper body.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–75 - NCT06596551Recruiting
Coaching for well-being after first stroke
This study explores a personalized coaching program to help you and your main caregiver improve your overall well-being after your first stroke. You will work with a coach to set goals for your recovery and learn mind-body skills that can boost your health and happiness.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07521930Recruiting
Brain implant to restore communication and movement control
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06601127RecruitingPhase 2
Tiprogrel for recent minor stroke or high-risk TIA
This trial tests a new anti-platelet drug called Tiprogrel to prevent another stroke in people who recently had a minor stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) with certain artery narrowing or plaques. It aims to see if this medicine is safe and works better than current treatments.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 40 years+ - NCT06605014Recruiting
Body alignment after stroke or mini-stroke
This study looks at how a stroke or mini-stroke affects the body's natural movement and alignment (called somatic dysfunction). Researchers want to see if there are common patterns of tightness or imbalance after a stroke, which could help guide future treatments.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06622525Recruiting
Baking soda to prevent kidney damage from heatstroke
This trial tests if giving sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can protect the kidneys in people with severe heatstroke, which can cause muscle breakdown and kidney injury.
Mexicali, Estado de Baja CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06629116Recruiting
Albumin treatment for large strokes after thrombectomy
This trial tests if giving a protein called albumin after a large stroke can improve recovery. Albumin may help reduce brain swelling and damage. You may qualify if you had a large stroke in the front part of the brain, got a clot-removal procedure, and meet certain age and health criteria.
Zhangzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT06630650Recruiting
Study of Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS) Over Time
This study follows people with congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) over time to learn more about how the condition changes and to find better ways to measure symptoms. You will not receive any treatment, but your participation helps researchers understand CMS better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–99 years - NCT06632587Recruiting
Early vs. late skull replacement after brain surgery
This trial compares putting the skull piece back early (around 8 weeks after the initial surgery) versus later (after 8 weeks) in people who had a hemicraniectomy for high brain pressure. The goal is to see which timing leads to better outcomes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06635187Recruiting

Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 20–85 - NCT06641336Recruiting
Perceptions of a mixed reality system for stroke recovery
This study tests a new mixed reality (like virtual reality) system called RehAtt to see if it can help people recover arm and hand movement after a first stroke. It is for people who have weakness on one side and can understand instructions.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT06645405Recruiting
AI scan reading for stroke caused by large vessel blockage
This trial tests whether an AI program can better read CT scans to find large blood vessel blockages that cause stroke. If you had a stroke from a blocked large vessel and already had CT scans, the AI may help doctors decide on treatment faster.

- 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.
