Acetyl-leucine for balance problems after a stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if acetyl-leucine can help improve walking and balance in people who had a specific type of stroke in the back part of the brain. You may qualify if you had your first stroke there and have trouble with balance or walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You had your first stroke in the back part of the brain (posterior circulation)
- You have problems with walking or balance because of the stroke
- You started the study within 24 hours of your stroke symptoms starting
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving acetaminophen (a common pain and fever medicine) can improve recovery after a stroke caused by a blocked large artery. It is for patients who have already had a procedure to open that artery. The goal is to see if the medicine can protect the brain and lead to better outcomes.
This trial tests a potential treatment for people with CACNA1A disorders, which can cause movement problems, migraine, or seizures. The medication may help improve balance and coordination.
This trial tests whether a combination of two natural supplements (palmitoylethanolamide and luteolin) can help people recover after a large ischemic stroke. It is for patients who are at least 60 years old, having their first stroke, and already scheduled for a clot-removal procedure.
This trial looks at whether taking Lactobacillus acidophilus can improve outcomes for people age 35–65 with recent, mild-to-moderate stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow in the brain. It may help by improving recovery and prognosis, but it depends on whether you meet several imaging, timing, and health-safety requirements.
This trial tests whether giving a drug called levetiracetam (which is normally used to prevent seizures) soon after a type of stroke called a brain bleed (intracerebral haemorrhage) can improve recovery. It is a randomised, double-blind trial, meaning half the participants get the drug and half get a placebo (a dummy pill), and neither you nor the doctors know which one you are taking.
This trial compares two types of balance exercises to see which one better improves balance, posture, and reduces the risk of falling in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
