Recruiting studies
- NCT05174611RecruitingPhase 2

Study of a vision test for Stargardt and geographic atrophy
This study tests a new way to measure vision, called MLSDT, in people with normal sight or vision loss from Stargardt disease or geographic atrophy (a type of advanced age-related macular degeneration). Results will help doctors better understand how well patients can see.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06897774Recruiting
Testing nerve tap to protect breathing muscle on ventilator
This study tests whether a gentle electrical tap on a nerve near your collarbone (the phrenic nerve) can keep your diaphragm—the main muscle you use to breathe—from getting weak while you're on a ventilator. The goal is to prevent muscle loss and help you breathe better later.
Istanbul, BakirkoyAges 18–80 - NCT07230600RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell therapy for thin uterine lining or scarring
This trial tests a new treatment for people with a thin uterine lining or uterine scarring that hasn't responded to other stem cell therapy. It might help improve the lining so pregnancy is possible.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 22–45 - NCT07222605Enrolling by invitation
MemorEM device study for brain diseases
This study tests a device called MemorEM to see how it works for people with brain diseases that cause memory and thinking problems (like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS). It aims to understand your experience with the device.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 45–100 - NCT06573086Recruiting
Resistance training, detraining, and retraining
This study looks at how your body responds to resistance training, a break from training, and then training again. It is for healthy adults who already completed a previous exercise study.
Jyväskylä, Central FinlandAges 18–50 - NCT05206838Recruiting
Treating gluteus medius tendon weakness after hip replacement
This trial looks at treating a specific hip muscle-tendon problem (gluteus medius insufficiency) after total hip replacement. It may help people who have had ongoing limping despite surgery by using an Achilles tendon–based approach.
MölndalAges 40–80 - NCT04706234Recruiting
Check swallowing and voice function in neurodegenerative diseases
This study looks at how well the throat and voice-related functions work in people with certain long-term brain or nerve conditions. It uses a specific throat exam during FEES to better understand swallowing and laryngopharyngeal (throat-area) function.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT05216666Recruiting
Surgery type and leftover limping after hip replacement
This study looks at whether the kind of hip surgery approach affects how much limping remains after a total hip replacement. You may benefit by helping researchers find the approach that leads to better walking after surgery.
MölndalAges 40–80 - NCT05414292Recruiting
Testing rapamycin effect on exercise muscle function in older adults
This study looks at how rapamycin (a medication that affects a growth signal in the body) changes muscle responses when older adults do resistance exercise. It may help researchers understand whether this treatment could improve or alter muscle function with aging.
DerbyAges 50–90 - NCT07178353Recruiting
How bedrest affects leg muscles in young adults
This study looks at how 5 days of complete bedrest changes the leg muscles of healthy young adults. It may help researchers understand muscle loss and how to prevent it.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18–30 - NCT07179042Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Metformin for hip fracture recovery in older adults
This study tests whether the diabetes drug metformin can help older adults recover better after hip fracture surgery. To join, you need to be 60+, have had a low-energy hip fracture fixed within 3 days, and be generally healthy without diabetes or kidney issues.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 60–90 - NCT06949865Recruiting
AI-enhanced levodopa challenge test for parkinsonism
This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve a standard test for parkinsonism called the levodopa challenge test. It may help doctors better understand how your movement symptoms respond to levodopa, a common Parkinson's medication.
BeijingAges 50–75 - NCT07171346Enrolling by invitation
Muscle stimulator after ACL reconstruction
This study tests whether a special muscle-stimulating device worn after ACL reconstruction surgery can help your knee recover strength faster. If you qualify, you will use the device at home for a few weeks and your recovery will be checked regularly.
Kansas City, KansasAges 15–50 - NCT07166432Recruiting
New brain stimulation for thinking and balance problems in Cushing syndrome
This trial tests a new, minimally invasive brain stimulation technique for people with Cushing syndrome who have developed a condition called cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS). It aims to improve both thinking skills and movement coordination.
BeijingAges 18–85 - NCT06954272Recruiting
Study of skin structure in eczema and healthy skin
This study uses special imaging to look at the structure of skin, comparing people with eczema (who have used steroid creams) to healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how the skin changes with eczema and its treatment.
Sheffield, South YorkshireAges 6 months+ - NCT07160504RecruitingPhase 4
Vaginal estrogen's effect on blood clotting in postmenopausal women
This trial tests if low-dose vaginal estrogen tablets affect blood clotting in postmenopausal women with vaginal atrophy. It includes women both with and without a past blood clot to see if the treatment is safe.
Aarhus NAges 50 years+ - NCT07161973Recruiting
Beetroot for preventing muscle loss in healthy men
This study tests if a natural substance (nitrate) from beets can help prevent muscle loss in young men when a leg is immobilized. You would stay at a research center for about 10 days with one leg in a cast to simulate a temporary injury.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–44 - NCT07104370Recruiting
Comparing freeze-dried donor bone vs. your own bone for jaw grafting
This trial compares two types of bone graft materials for rebuilding the jawbone so you can later get dental implants. One is a freeze-dried bone from a donor (allograft), and the other is a small piece of your own bone (autograft).
Budapest, HungaryAges 18 years+ - NCT06351657Recruiting
Monitoring macular degeneration with AI to detect progression
This trial uses artificial intelligence to track changes in the eyes of people with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that has caused a specific type of damage (atrophy) in the retina. The goal is to see if AI can help detect when the disease gets worse, so doctors can personalize monitoring for each patient.
ViennaAges 55–99 - NCT07090694Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Sinus lift with or without platelet-rich fibrin for dental implants
This trial compares two ways to place dental implants in the upper jaw where there is not enough bone: one uses a special clotting substance (PRF) and the other does not. The goal is to see which method works better.
RiyadhAges 25–65 - NCT07081841Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for AB-1005 study participants
This trial is for people with Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy (parkinsonian type) who took part in an earlier AB-1005 study. It will continue to monitor your health over time to learn more about the treatment's long-term effects.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06978985Recruiting
Adult SMA research and clinical hub study
This study creates a registry and clinical hub for adults with 5q spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). It aims to track health outcomes and improve care for people living with SMA.
BirminghamAges 16 years+ - NCT07069426Recruiting
Protein and muscle loss during leg immobilization
This study tests how different amounts of dietary protein affect your muscles when your leg is temporarily immobilized in a brace. If you are a healthy, active adult, you might help researchers learn how to prevent muscle loss during periods of reduced activity.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for atrophy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 268 recruiting atrophy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a atrophy 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 atrophy 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.
