This trial tests whether watching videos of backward walking and then practicing it can help improve your walking quality after a stroke. It is designed for people who are at least six months past their stroke and can already walk independently.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT06871969Recruiting
Testing a brain-wave device for stroke triage in ambulances
This trial is testing a portable EEG device (a non-invasive cap that measures brain activity) to help ambulance staff quickly determine if a patient is having a stroke. It aims to speed up diagnosis and care for people with suspected stroke symptoms.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06906588Recruiting
Robot arm therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests if using a robot to help with arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago. The therapy is for the weaker arm and aims to help you regain strength and control.
Cassino, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06911671Recruiting
VR and brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a combination of virtual reality therapy and brain stimulation to help people recover arm movement after a stroke. It uses a special interface controlled by muscle signals and applies stimulation to the cerebellum to improve motor control.
Roma, RomeAges 18–80 - NCT06913127Recruiting
High-intensity exercise for better recovery after stroke
This trial studies whether doing high-intensity exercise helps people recover walking and other skills better than usual therapy after a stroke. It is for people who are already in a rehabilitation hospital and can walk a short distance with help.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06927206Recruiting
Vibration and muscle stimulation for leg function after stroke
This trial tests if adding a gentle vibrator to standard muscle-stimulation therapy can improve leg movement in people recovering from a stroke. It's for those who had a stroke 2 weeks to 3 months ago and have mild to moderate thinking and movement issues.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–60 - NCT06940635Recruiting
Hand therapy for stroke: may help speech and swallowing
This study tests whether a special hand therapy using brain-computer interface and electrical stimulation can also help improve speech and swallowing problems after a stroke. You may be eligible if you're at least 3 months past your stroke, have some arm weakness, and have aphasia or dysphagia.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT06959199Recruiting
Treating stroke beyond 24 hours with artery-opening procedure
This study tests whether opening a blocked large artery in the brain up to 5 days (or even 7 days if symptoms are worsening) after a stroke can improve outcomes. It uses a catheter-based treatment (endovascular therapy) for people who have not responded to standard care and have limited brain damage so far.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06979466Recruiting
Electrical device for chronic stroke recovery
This trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation to help people who had a stroke several months to years ago improve arm and hand movement. You would use the device while sitting and do physical exercises with help from a caregiver.
White Plains, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT06984965Recruiting
Using EEG to Distinguish Types of Stroke
This study uses an EEG (a cap that records brain waves) to help tell the difference between two types of stroke: ischemic (caused by a clot) and hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding). It may help doctors choose the right treatment faster for patients who have a stroke.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18–80 - NCT06998485Recruiting

- 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.
