Recruiting studies
- NCT07020312RecruitingPhase 2
Brain training to improve muscle recovery after joint surgery
This trial tests whether brain-computer interface training can help you regain muscle control more effectively after knee or hip surgery. It focuses on four common procedures and uses neurofeedback to optimize muscle activation during recovery.

Jaw Stretching with Slow Breathing for Calmness
This study tests whether doing a simple jaw-stretching exercise along with a slow breathing pattern (breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4, breathe out for 8) can help calm your body's 'fight or flight' system. It is designed for healthy students who want to try relaxation techniques.
Konya, KonyaAges 18–30 - NCT07206797Recruiting
Ultrasound to measure muscle activity from spinal cord stimulation
This study uses ultrasound to see how muscles respond to two types of electrical stimulation (spinal cord and functional electrical stimulation). It may help researchers better understand how to treat muscle weakness or paralysis.

Unstable Loads and Shoulder Movement in Overhead Athletes
This study investigates how using unstable equipment (like a wobbly barbell) affects shoulder blade movement and muscle use during overhead pressing in athletes with shoulder impingement pain. The goal is to understand whether unstable loads might help improve shoulder mechanics and reduce pain in overhead athletes.
TaipeiAges 18–40 - NCT07731737Recruiting
Biofeedback vs foam roller for knee osteoarthritis
This trial compares two non-surgical therapies—pressure biofeedback and foam rolling—to see which better reduces pain, improves muscle function, and boosts quality of life in people with early-stage knee osteoarthritis.
LahoreAges 45–65 - NCT05767762Recruiting
Tests whether leg muscle patterns predict treatment outcome in clubfoot
This study looks at how certain leg muscles move to see if that can predict how well an Achilles tenotomy (a small procedure to release tight tendon) works for children with idiopathic clubfoot. It may help doctors choose the best timing and approach for treatment.
NiceAges birth–1 year - NCT06452030Recruiting
Testing a new exercise for trunk muscles in low back pain
This study is testing a special training program for the muscles that support your spine. It is for people who have had frequent but mild episodes of low back pain that have recently calmed down. The goal is to see if changing how these muscles work can prevent future pain.
GhentAges 18–65 - NCT06975202Recruiting
Trunk Muscle Activation in Pain-Free Adults
This study checks how reliably trunk muscle activity can be measured in healthy people. It helps researchers understand normal muscle function without pain.
GhentAges 18–65 - NCT06981013Recruiting
Weighted Torso Study for Balance in MS
This study tests if adding weight to your torso affects how your muscles work during balance tests. It may help researchers understand how to improve balance for people with MS.
Saint Augustine, FloridaAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07226284Recruiting
Testing a nerve stimulation device for leg movement in Parkinson's
This study tests if a device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a nerve in your neck) can improve leg muscle activity and walking balance in people with Parkinson's disease. You would participate in experiments while wearing the device to see how it affects your movement.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–76 - NCT07466888Recruiting
Adjusting electrical stimulation frequency for tongue muscle activity
This trial tests how changing the frequency of gentle electrical pulses to a tongue muscle affects its activity. It may help people with sleep apnea by strengthening the muscle that keeps the airway open during sleep.
Gyeonggi-do, Seongnam-siAges 19 years+ - NCT07489794Recruiting
Bladder Control and Pelvic Floor in MS
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects bladder control and pelvic floor muscles. It may help find better ways to manage urinary incontinence (leaking urine) in women with MS.
IstanbulAges 30–50 - NCT07543484Recruiting
Tennis Serve Movement Study for Shoulder Pain
This research study examines how your shoulder muscles and joints move during a tennis serve, comparing players with shoulder pain to those without. The goal is to better understand shoulder injuries in tennis and help prevent or treat them.
TaipeiAges 18–40 - NCT06819475Recruiting
Muscle health study for childhood leukemia survivors
This study uses imaging to look at how well the mitochondria (the tiny power plants inside your muscle cells) are working. It compares survivors of childhood leukemia who have low muscle mass to healthy volunteers, to understand muscle health and find ways to help.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07602933Recruiting
Light Therapy for Muscle Fatigue from Electrical Stimulation
This study tests whether light therapy can reduce muscle fatigue and damage caused by electrical muscle stimulation. Researchers want to see if this non-invasive light treatment helps muscles recover faster.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–45 - NCT07128602Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help quadriceps after ACL surgery
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation can improve thigh muscle function in women recovering from ACL reconstruction. If you are between 2 and 6 months post-surgery, you may be able to join.
Glenside, PennsylvaniaAges 18–35 - NCT06321965Recruiting
Study of SMA in Children on SMN-Boosting Therapies
This study is looking for children and teens with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who are already on a treatment like Spinraza, Evrysdi, or Zolgensma. The goal is to understand different forms of SMA and how the treatment affects them over time.
Bron, RhoneAges birth–16 years - NCT02610855Enrolling by invitation
Study of activity and muscle function in children with scoliosis
This study looks at how children’s activity levels and muscle performance change in different scoliosis treatments (surgery, bracing, or healthy peers). It uses motion sensors and an ultrasound-based test to better understand what treatments may do to the body’s muscles.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 9–16 - NCT07419607Recruiting
Group therapy with exercise for teens with migraine
This study tests a group therapy program for teens with migraine. The program combines physical activity, muscle relaxation, and education about migraines. It aims to help teens manage their headaches better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle activation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 96 recruiting muscle activation 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 muscle activation 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 muscle activation 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.
