Early warning for futile clot removal in stroke
This study looks at how to predict when a clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) might not work well for acute ischemic stroke. The goal is to build an early warning system so doctors can better decide on treatment.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07045233Enrolling by invitation
Using a brain protection device during TAVR to prevent stroke
This study tests if a special device placed during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) can help prevent stroke. It is for adults with severe aortic stenosis who are already scheduled for TAVR.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07042815Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for spinal cord stimulation after injury
This trial checks on people who already have a spinal cord stimulator from past research, to see how well it works over time. It looks at safety and how the device affects daily life.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07041372Enrolling by invitation
Brain PET Study for Recent Stroke Patients
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to learn more about how artery hardening (atherosclerosis) affects stroke. It is for people who have just had a stroke and may help doctors understand the disease better.

Common questions
- How many brain & nervous system clinical trials are recruiting?
- Clin2 is tracking 12,516 recruiting neurology studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 20,061 we cover in this area in total.
- What does “Brain & nervous system” cover here?
- Conditions of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves — including stroke, dementia, and movement disorders. We group each study into brain & nervous system based on the conditions it studies, so you can scan the whole therapeutic area at once and drill into a specific condition.
- How do I find a brain & nervous system trial near me?
- Use the search to filter brain & nervous system studies by location and eligibility. Every Clin2 trial page explains the criteria in plain English and offers a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read — the study team makes the final decision.
