Downey, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06658197RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new clot-busting drug for severe stroke
This study tests a medication called tenecteplase, given before a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain. It may help people who have had a severe stroke within the last 4.5 hours.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06615973Recruiting
Stroke recovery and social factors study
This study looks at how social factors (like where you live or your income) might affect thinking and memory after a stroke. If you had a stroke before and joined a related study, you may be able to join this one.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06588647Recruiting
Helping Stroke Survivors Manage Recovery at Home
This trial tests a self-management program to help people recover after a stroke, using video calls and support materials. If you had a mild or moderate stroke in the last 6 months and live at home, this may help you build skills for daily life.
Columbia, MissouriAges 45–85 - NCT06570681Recruiting
Video call assessment for acute stroke
This trial tests whether a video call with a doctor can help assess stroke symptoms quickly in the ambulance or emergency setting. It aims to see if this approach speeds up care and improves outcomes for people with possible stroke.
Aabenraa, Region SyddanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06537557Recruiting
Early cooling for hospitalized heat stroke patients
This trial tests whether a special in-hospital cooling plan can help people with heat stroke recover better. It's designed for patients who arrive at the emergency room with a high fever and need immediate care.
Guli, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06541015Recruiting
TENS for improving walking after stroke
This study tests whether a small electrical device (TENS) can help stroke survivors walk better. You will receive TENS or placebo while walking on a treadmill, and the researchers will measure how your muscles respond.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06534645Recruiting
STOP-stroke: Predicting recovery after a stroke
This study collects health data from people with a suspected stroke to improve predictions of recovery. Your participation helps researchers better understand how to treat strokes in the future.
ZurichAges Any age - NCT06494436Recruiting
Real-world study of MicroVention devices for aneurysms or stroke
This study collects information from routine medical care to learn how well MicroVention devices work in real-world settings for people being treated for brain aneurysms or stroke from a blocked artery. Your doctor has already decided to use one of these devices as part of your standard treatment.
Vigo, PontevedraAges Any age - NCT06315192Recruiting
Stroke alarm app trial for faster care
This trial tests a smartphone app called Stroke Alarm to see if it helps people who have had a recent stroke, mini-stroke, or have untreated atrial fibrillation get faster care. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a smartphone, and had a relevant event in the last 2 weeks.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06273475Recruiting

CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06210633Recruiting
Clot removal trial for very large strokes
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy (clot removal through a catheter) for people with very large strokes. It aims to see if removing the clot can help even when a large part of the brain is already damaged.
