Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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+ - NCT06800872Recruiting
Vibration therapy for weight loss in teens
This trial tests if whole body vibration can help teenagers with obesity burn more energy while staying in a hospital program. It may offer an extra tool to support weight management.
Oggebbio, VerbaniaAges 13–18 - 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+ - NCT06736028Recruiting
Ketogenic diet for weight loss maintenance in obesity
This study tests whether a ketogenic diet helps people with obesity keep weight off by changing how your body burns energy and controls appetite. You will follow a low-carb, high-fat diet and be monitored for several months.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–65 - NCT06579950Recruiting
Cool roofs and health study
This study tests whether a special cool roof coating can lower indoor temperatures and improve health. You may be eligible if you live in a home with a stable, safe roof.
OuagadougouAges 18 years+ - NCT06425731Recruiting
Dance and energy in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how dancing affects energy use in people with Parkinson's. If you already take Dance for PD® classes and have mild to moderate Parkinson's, researchers want to see how your body responds during a dance class.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT06169020Enrolling by invitation
Developing smart wearable algorithms for joggers
This study is testing smart wearable devices that track your body while you jog. It might help researchers develop better fitness trackers for everyone.
Kalmar, Kalmar CountyAges 18–65 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT03233256Enrolling by invitation
Breath and saliva tests in healthy adults
This study measures substances in your breath and saliva to understand what can be detected from the body. You might help by providing samples, as long as you’re generally healthy and meet the study’s age and health requirements.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–45

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for energy expenditure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 36 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.
