Recruiting studies
- NCT05903001Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing to help track lung disease
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06057909Recruiting
Brain function study in Lewy body and Alzheimer's disease
This study looks at how brain function changes over time in people with Lewy body disease or Alzheimer's. Researchers will use memory tests, MRI scans, and EEG (a painless brain-wave recording) to track these changes, and you will need a family member or friend to help report on your daily life.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 50–95 - NCT06227182Recruiting
Comparing MRI and ultrasound for muscle health
This study compares two imaging methods, MRI and ultrasound, to see how well they measure muscle health. It may help find better ways to monitor muscle conditions without invasive tests.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18–70 - NCT06442124Recruiting
Body weight and glute muscle activity in sacroiliac pain
This study looks at how body weight (BMI) affects a hip muscle (gluteus maximus) in people with sacroiliac joint pain. If you have mild to moderate pain in the lower back/buttock area and are between 20–40 years old, this trial may help understand how your muscle works.
GizaAges 20–40 - NCT06574737Recruiting
Can muscle signals predict arm recovery after stroke?
This study tests whether a simple muscle signal test (called surface EMG) can predict how well your arm will recover after a stroke. It involves placing small stickers on your skin to measure muscle activity while you try to move your affected arm.
Bandung, West JavaAges 18 years+ - NCT06691204Recruiting
Comparing thumb and pinky for muscle monitoring during surgery
This trial compares two places on the hand—the thumb base and the pinky base—to see which is better for monitoring muscle relaxation during surgery. Participants will have their muscle response measured with a gentle electrical test (electromyography) while receiving a standard muscle relaxant (rocuronium).
Debrecen, Hajdú-BiharAges 18 years+ - NCT06963359Recruiting
Testing a new tool to diagnose muscle loss in older adults
This trial uses a high-definition surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) device to see if it can help diagnose and track sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It may help find better ways to monitor muscle health in people aged 75 and older.
Issy-les-MoulineauxAges 75 years+ - NCT07074028Recruiting
Tracking muscle changes in ICU patients with sepsis
This study is for people in the ICU with sepsis who need a breathing machine for a long time. It monitors muscle changes during recovery to understand how sepsis affects muscles.
Saint-BrieucAges 18 years+ - NCT07161531Recruiting
Testing muscle fatigue sensors in active teens
This trial checks if a sensor that measures muscle tiredness works reliably in teenagers who are physically active. If you play sports or dance regularly, your participation could help improve how we understand muscle fatigue.
WilrijkAges 13–19 - NCT07198568Recruiting
Swallowing and Neck Muscle Activity in Sarcopenic Dysphagia
This study looks at how the muscles in your neck and throat work when you swallow, specifically in older adults who have both sarcopenia (low muscle mass) and trouble swallowing. The goal is to better understand the connection between swallowing and muscle activity, which may help develop better treatments.
Incheon, Jung-guAges 65 years+ - NCT07273123Recruiting
Chewing gum and fatigue in jaw joint health
This study tests if chewing sugar-free gum for a while can affect how tired you feel and how your jaw muscles work. It compares people with and without jaw joint problems (TMJ disorders).
Milan, MilanAges 19–35 - NCT01900132Recruiting
Measures nerve and muscle signals in healthy people and patients
This study uses a painless electrical method to record how muscles and nerves work over time. It aims to better understand normal patterns (healthy volunteers) and to learn how these signals change in people with neuromuscular or movement-related conditions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–110 - NCT07437989Recruiting
Peripheral neuropathy observation study
This study collects medical data from people with peripheral neuropathy to better understand the condition. It includes simple nerve tests and exams, and does not test any new treatments.
Peschiera del Garda, VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT07446283Recruiting
How table tennis players hit forehand shots
This study looks at how elite table tennis players perform different forehand strokes. It uses motion sensors and muscle activity readings to understand the movements involved.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 13–40 - NCT07516834Recruiting
Spine Surgery Recovery: Open vs. Minimally Invasive Approaches
This study compares how people recover their normal walking patterns after surgery for mid-to-lower spine fractures. Researchers will measure your gait (how you walk) and muscle activity to see if the type of surgery affects how quickly you heal.
Ústí nad Labem, Ústí nad Labem RegionAges 20–75 - NCT06982027Enrolling by invitation
Nerve block study for children having surgery
This trial tests a nerve block (an injection to numb a specific area) combined with general anesthesia during surgery. It may help children recover with less pain and fewer side effects from strong pain medicines.
Columbus, OhioAges birth–21 years - NCT06841341Enrolling by invitation
Predicting breathing problems in ALS
This study uses ultrasound and electrical tests of breathing muscles and nerves to see if they can predict breathing failure in people with ALS. This could help doctors know when a patient might need breathing support.
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodeshipAges 18–80 - NCT06805032Enrolling by invitation
Testing muscle monitors in surgery with arms tucked
This trial tests how well two muscle monitors work when your arms are tucked in during surgery. It aims to see which type of monitor gives accurate readings when no muscle relaxants are used.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06492057Enrolling by invitation
EMS muscle training for astronauts in space
This trial tests if a special muscle stimulation device called EMS can help astronauts stay fit during spaceflight. It may prevent muscle loss in zero gravity.
Mitte, State of BerlinAges 40–60

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.
