Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT05857150Recruiting
Study tests exercise effects in adults with obesity
This study looks at how your body responds to exercise if you have obesity. It may help researchers understand which changes happen with exercise and how safe it is for people in your age group.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 20–45 - NCT07256340Recruiting

This trial measures how much energy critically ill patients burn while in the ICU. If you are in the ICU at Jessa Hospital and expected to stay at least 5 days, you may help doctors understand patients' calorie needs better.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05545306Recruiting
Study tests how extra calories change your daily energy use
This study looks at how eating more calories affects your body’s natural heat production and total energy use over a full day. It may help researchers better understand how the body manages weight and energy.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–60 - NCT07759193Recruiting
Understanding energy needs after head and neck cancer surgery
This study measures how many calories patients burn before and after reconstructive surgery for head and neck cancer. It aims to help doctors provide better nutrition during recovery.
Tel AvivAges 18–120 - NCT06414668Recruiting
Energyco study: testing active travel to school
This study looks at how biking to school affects students' energy levels and health. Your child's school may be eligible if it has bike parking, no school bus, and enough students interested.
GranadaAges 12–17 - NCT05517967Recruiting
MRI study of infant body heat and energy use
This study looks at how infants use energy and how “brown fat” (a type of body fat that can burn energy) develops. It involves MRI scans and short clinic visits, which may help researchers better understand early growth and metabolism.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges Up to 1 month - NCT07155564Recruiting
Energy expenditure measurement study
This trial uses wearable devices to measure how much energy you burn while exercising on a bike. It helps researchers improve how they track energy use in healthy people.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges 18–40 - NCT06134258Recruiting
How fasting affects metabolism in healthy young adults
This study looks at how a period of fasting changes the amount of energy your body burns at rest. It may help explain why fasting can affect weight and health.
BaselAges 18–40 - NCT06962605Recruiting
Running in short bursts and metabolic health
This trial looks at how doing short, repeated runs (intermittent running) can affect your metabolism and overall health. It's for men who are already active and want to see if this type of exercise helps them stay healthy.
TaipeiAges 20–45 - NCT06923813Recruiting
Measuring nutrient absorption in ICU patients on tube feeding
This study checks how well patients who are still in the hospital after an ICU stay absorb the nutrients from their tube feeding. A special test called bomb calorimetry will measure the calories in stool to see if the body is getting the energy it needs.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06921668Recruiting
Energy use before and after esophagus surgery
This study measures how your body uses energy before and after scheduled esophagus removal surgery to understand recovery needs. It may help doctors provide better nutritional support during your hospital stay.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06733415Enrolling by invitation
Hormone therapy and energy changes in transgender people
This study looks at how starting gender-affirming hormone therapy changes the way your body uses energy. It might help explain weight and metabolism changes some people notice during treatment.
Tel AvivAges 17 years+ - NCT07096011Recruiting
Studying obesity risks in young infants
This study looks at very young babies to understand early signs of obesity risk. If your baby is under 4 months old and mainly drinks breastmilk, they may help researchers learn more about how body growth and feeding relate to health later in life.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 2 weeks–4 months - NCT07737873Recruiting
Movement and brain function after chronic stroke
This study looks at how stroke affects your movement and nervous system over time. You will do simple movement tests and answer quality-of-life surveys to help researchers understand how to improve recovery.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07714499Recruiting
Energy use in healthy people vs. those with intestinal failure
This study looks at how the body uses energy (calories) in people with intestinal failure compared to healthy controls. The results may help improve nutritional care.
LjubljanaAges 18–65 - NCT07703813Recruiting
Energy use and nutrition after pancreas surgery
This study measures how your body uses energy after pancreas surgery to improve nutrition care. It may help doctors better support your recovery.
Athens, AtticaAges 18–75 - NCT04055428RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a hormone supplement to improve heart and metabolic health
This study tests whether adding a natriuretic peptide medicine improves heart health and metabolism in Black adults. It may help with blood pressure and related health markers, but you must meet specific health and safety criteria.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05216042Recruiting
Study of genetics and heart/metabolic health in adults
This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05931068Recruiting
Measuring energy use during major liver surgery
This study looks at how much energy your body uses during major liver surgery by measuring breathing and metabolism. It may help doctors better plan care around surgery and understand how your body responds.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for energy expenditure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 38 recruiting energy expenditure 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 energy expenditure 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 energy expenditure 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.
