LimogesAges 18 years+ - NCT07153536Recruiting
Spinal stimulation and therapy for arm weakness after stroke
This trial tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have significant weakness in one arm.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 22–70 - NCT07185022Recruiting
Clot-busting drug through artery for medium-vessel stroke
This trial tests a clot-busting drug given directly into the arteries of the brain for people who have had a stroke due to a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve recovery when started up to 72 hours after symptoms begin.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07207330Recruiting
Stroke code study in Villavicencio hospitals
This trial looks at using a stroke code system in hospitals to improve care for people having a stroke. You may be able to join if you are an adult diagnosed with a stroke by exam and CT scan, as long as it's not caused by injury.
Villavicencio, Meta DepartmentAges 40–100 - NCT07220005Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for stroke recovery
This study tests a gentle sound wave therapy (focused ultrasound) to see if it can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to find the best settings for this treatment.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT07095920Recruiting
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a brain stimulation device (Brain Q) to help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke 6 months to 5 years ago. The goal is to see if it can boost recovery beyond standard therapy.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07253870Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for subacute stroke recovery
This study compares two types of nerve stimulation (one on the ear, one on the neck) to see which helps upper limb movement better in people who had a stroke 3–6 months ago. It may help improve arm and hand function.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–70 - NCT07253974Recruiting
Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Recovery Study
This study follows people who had a stroke linked to atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and are in a rehabilitation program. Researchers want to see how recovery goes and what helps patients improve.
BarcelonaAges 18–99 - NCT07257107Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation plus robot training for stroke recovery
This trial tests if combining a gentle ear nerve stimulation device with robot-assisted arm training can improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–70 - NCT07259577Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve arm movement, breathing, and quality of life in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It involves a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck during therapy sessions.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–70 - NCT07279259RecruitingPhase 2
Blood pressure management after stroke clot-dissolving treatment
