Recruiting studies
- NCT06944782Recruiting
Can mouth muscle tests help diagnose sleep apnea?
This study tests a new device that measures muscle activity in your mouth to diagnose sleep apnea—without needing to spend the night in a lab. If you've already had a sleep test showing either no sleep apnea or moderate to severe sleep apnea, and you're not using CPAP daily, you may be able to help.

Nerve monitoring during surgery to track muscle relaxation
This trial tests a nerve-monitoring method during elective surgery to track how well muscle-relaxing medications are working. Doctors will place small sensors on your arms to measure nerve and muscle activity, which may help them give you the right dose of anesthesia.
DebrecenAges 18 years+ - NCT05663008Recruiting
Testing nerve-to-muscle signal changes to diagnose movement diseases
This study measures how nerves communicate with muscles, using recordings and gels. It aims to spot early, personalized signs of conditions like ALS and related diseases, and to improve diagnosis.
Dublin, LeinsterAges 18 years+ - NCT06409260Recruiting
Muscle monitoring in children 6 months to 2 years old
This study tests two devices that measure how well muscle relaxants work in young children during surgery. The goal is to see which device gives more accurate readings, helping doctors use the right dose of relaxant.
CopenhagenAges 6 months–2 years - NCT06553131Recruiting
Comparing nerve monitors for muscle relaxant during surgery
This study compares two ways to monitor muscle relaxation during surgery. It looks at how well a nerve monitor on the arm works versus one on the wrist, to help doctors give the right amount of muscle relaxant medicine.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06306833Recruiting
Biofeedback therapy for chronic low back pain
This study tests if a therapy that uses special sensors to help you relax your back muscles (called surface EMG biofeedback) can reduce chronic low back pain. If you have ongoing low back pain for at least 3 months, you may be able to join.
Karachi, SindhAges 25–75 - NCT04989751Enrolling by invitation
Study of gene patterns in limb-girdle muscle weakness
This study looks at how specific gene changes relate to the pattern of muscle weakness in people with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). It may help doctors better understand the condition and improve future care.
ShanghaiAges 10 years+ - NCT04658693Recruiting
Restore leg sensation in diabetic nerve damage with safe stimulation
This study tests a treatment that delivers mild stimulation to help bring back lower-limb feeling in people with diabetic nerve damage (or an insensate foot) and may also protect nerves. If you qualify and can safely take part in testing and follow-up, it could improve sensation and walking comfort.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07294131RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing muscle loss in hospitalized older adults
This trial tests a special exercise approach using blood-flow restriction and a video game to help older adults in the hospital keep their muscle strength. The goal is to find a safe way for bedridden patients to exercise and recover better.
AntwerpAges 65 years+ - NCT03260400Recruiting
Temporary implanted electrodes to improve prosthetic arm control
This study tests placing temporary electrodes after a nerve surgery (regenerative peripheral nerve surgery) to help your prosthetic arm pick up better control signals. It may help people with an upper-limb amputation use a prosthesis more accurately while the electrodes are in place.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 22–75 - NCT06486571Recruiting
Study of a better robotic hand with feeling
This trial tests a new way to control a robotic hand using sensors on your skin and to give you feeling back through mild electrical pulses. It may help people with upper limb amputations have a more natural sense of touch and control.
Budrio, BOAges 18–65 - NCT07699562Recruiting
EMG device study in healthy people and ICU patients
This study tests a device that records muscle activity (EMG) in healthy volunteers and critically ill patients in the ICU. It aims to learn how well the device works in different groups, which could help monitor muscle function in the future.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT06056180Recruiting
Motor imagery training for balance in older adults
This study tests whether imagining moving your body (motor imagery training) can improve balance in older adults. It will compare this mental practice with usual activities to see if it helps prevent falls and improves stability.
Menteşe, MuğlaAges 60–80 - NCT07448857Recruiting
Scapula movement and muscle activity in upper string players with neck pain
This study looks at how the shoulder blade moves and muscles work in violin and viola players who have neck pain. It may help understand why neck pain happens and how to treat it better.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT05750212Recruiting
Study of pelvic pain health and overlapping pain conditions
This study looks at women’s chronic pelvic pain that comes with other common pain conditions. It may help researchers understand what supports pelvic and pelvic-floor health when pain has lasted for months.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 21–80 - NCT05965830Recruiting
Diaphragm testing in babies using ultrasound or a breathing-recording test
This study compares two ways to measure how well a baby’s diaphragm (main breathing muscle) works in babies and children who need breathing support. It may help doctors choose the best test to guide safe breathing changes, like when to remove the breathing tube or support.
LeidenAges birth–1 year - NCT07243028Recruiting
Pelvic floor training with ultrasound and electrical feedback
This trial tests whether adding ultrasound and muscle-activity feedback to standard pelvic floor exercises helps women with pelvic floor problems like organ prolapse, stress incontinence, or difficulty emptying the bladder.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 21 years+ - NCT07723313RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Amniotic membrane and secretome for carpal tunnel release
This trial tests whether adding a special membrane (amniotic membrane) and a natural healing fluid (secretome) to standard carpal tunnel release surgery can improve hand function better than surgery alone. It may be a good option if your wrist pain and numbness haven't gone away with other treatments.
Denpasar, BaliAges 18 years+ - NCT04831346Recruiting
Laser treatment to improve jaw opening in young women
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy can improve how far you can open your jaw and changes in jaw muscle activity in people with one-sided jaw muscle temporomandibular disorder (TMD). It may help reduce jaw movement limits related to that condition.
GizaAges 18–30 - NCT07699848Recruiting
Sitting actively versus passively: thinking and energy
This study compares two types of sitting to see how they affect your thinking and energy levels. It will help understand if moving while seated is better for your brain and how you feel.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT04981184Recruiting
Testing muscle signals to predict walking recovery after stroke
This study looks at surface muscle electrical signals (from electrodes on the skin) to understand and predict how well your balance and walking may improve after a first stroke. You might benefit by learning more about your recovery and by helping researchers find better ways to track progress.
KaunasAges 18–89 - NCT04987814Recruiting
Testing a skin-sensor scan to detect muscle loss
This study uses a high-detail sensor placed on the skin to look for signs of sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss. The goal is to see whether the scan can help diagnose sarcopenia more accurately.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for electromyography?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 43 recruiting electromyography 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 electromyography 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 electromyography 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.
