Málaga, MálagaAges Any age - NCT07251140Recruiting
Swallowing study with a new microphone device
This study tests a new microphone device to see if it can help find swallowing problems in people who have had a stroke. If you are already scheduled for a swallowing test, you may be able to take part.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 40–85 - NCT07261553Recruiting
Exercises at home for muscle and bone conditions
This study looks at how well people follow a home exercise program for muscle or bone problems. It aims to understand what helps or makes it hard to stick with the exercises.
Konya, KonyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07271342Recruiting
Tracking tenecteplase for stroke in real-world settings
This study is collecting information on stroke patients who received the clot-dissolving drug tenecteplase. It aims to see how well the drug works and how safe it is in everyday hospital care in China.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07275515RecruitingPhase 2
Diroximel fumarate for brain bleed swelling
This study tests a medicine called diroximel fumarate to reduce swelling around a bleeding stroke (intracerebral hemorrhage). If you or your loved one have had a brain bleed within the last 48 hours and are not too severely affected, you may be able to join.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07280923Recruiting
Wheelchair use and neurologic disorder study
This study aims to see if a new survey, the PReFS, is accurate and reliable for people who use wheelchairs because of a neurologic condition. If you qualify, you may help improve how doctors measure your health.
Waco, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07282041RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
A study on dulaglutide for brain artery narrowing after stroke
This trial tests if a once-weekly injection called dulaglutide (Trulicity) helps people with severe narrowing of a major brain artery after a minor stroke or TIA. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of another stroke.
SingaporeAges 21–80 - NCT07291479Recruiting
Behavioral assessment method for toddlers
This study looks at a new way to assess behavior in toddlers. It is for healthy children between 8 and 36 months old who were born full term and are meeting their developmental milestones.
Columbus, OhioAges 4 months–3 years - NCT07298122Recruiting
Heart imaging for hidden clots in ESUS stroke with left ventricular disease
This study uses advanced heart scans (MRI or CT) to look for blood clots in the heart of people who had a stroke with an unclear cause, specifically if they also have a mild heart condition affecting the left ventricle. The goal is to find hidden clots that might be causing strokes.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07302854RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Clot-busting medicine for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new clot-busting medicine called tenecteplase, given directly into the blood vessel in the brain, to treat strokes caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. The goal is to see if it can help restore blood flow and reduce disability, especially for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of stroke onset.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07303582RecruitingPhase 4
Freezing nerves to ease pain from muscle tightness
This study tests if freezing specific nerves (cryoneurolysis) can reduce pain caused by muscle tightness (spasticity) after a brain or spinal cord injury, or from multiple sclerosis. It is for people who already get Botox injections for this pain.

Ultrasound vs. CT scan for brain blood flow imaging
This study compares a new ultrasound-based method to a standard CT scan for measuring blood flow in the brain. It is designed for people in the ICU or CCU who are already scheduled for a CT scan and could benefit from a simpler, more portable imaging option.
Montpellier, HeraultAges 18 years+ - NCT07325604Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,747 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.
