This study looks at how the body automatically regulates blood pressure in women who went through menopause earlier than expected. It may help researchers understand whether early menopause affects blood pressure control and related health risks.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 35–70 - NCT05627726Recruiting
PelviSense device for stress urinary leakage
This trial studies whether a wearable biofeedback device called PelviSense can reduce stress urinary incontinence (leakage that happens with activities like coughing or exercise) and whether it’s worth the cost. If you qualify, you may be asked to use the device and complete study visits and tests to measure symptom changes.
Hong KongAges 35–65 - NCT07406295Recruiting
Breathing exercises to improve brain and immune health
This trial tests whether a daily breathing exercise device can improve blood flow to the brain and immune function in people with obesity. It may help reduce health risks linked to excess weight.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–45 - NCT04882904Recruiting
Tracking movement in people with ALS and healthy volunteers
This study continuously measures activity and movement in people with ALS and in control participants. It aims to better understand how muscle disease changes day-to-day function, which may help improve future monitoring or care.
Liège, LiègeAges 18 years+ - 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.
Ivry-sur-SeineAges 75 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+ - NCT07325513Recruiting
Brain stimulation for Gulf War-related pain
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation (repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) can help reduce headaches and body pain in veterans with Gulf War Illness. If you are a Gulf War veteran with ongoing moderate-to-severe pain, this trial could help find a new way to manage your symptoms.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06937190Recruiting
Does creatine before sleep improve power in active women?
This study tests if taking a small dose of creatine before bed helps women who exercise regularly perform better on power-based activities like jumping and sprinting. It's designed for healthy, young women who already do resistance training and want to see if a simple supplement can boost their nighttime recovery and next-day performance.
Shabestar, East Azerbaijan ProvinceAges 18–25 - NCT07594444Recruiting
Whey Protein and Adaptogenic Supplements for Active Women
This study tests whether whey protein combined with adaptogenic herbs (natural stress-reducing supplements) can improve athletic performance and recovery in physically active women. You'll take supplements for several weeks while maintaining your normal training routine, and researchers will measure changes in your strength and fitness.
Brighton, East SussexAges 18–45 - NCT06573749Recruiting
Milk fat globule membrane supplement for muscle function
This trial tests whether a supplement made from milk fat globule membrane can improve muscle function in healthy adults who are recreationally active. You'll take the supplement daily for 12 weeks and have your muscle function measured.
Loughborough, LeicestershireAges 18–75 - NCT07302230Recruiting
Home exercise app for bladder cancer patients
This trial tests whether a home-based physical activity program using a smartphone app helps people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer become more active compared to a health education group. It's designed for those who are not very active and want to improve their health.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06743269Recruiting
Breathing Training for Stress and Sleep in Midlife Women
This study tests a simple breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle strength training) to see if it can help reduce stress and improve sleep for midlife women who have hot flashes. If you're between 45-60, have hot flashes, and don't smoke, you may be able to join.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 45–60 - NCT07161973Recruiting
Beetroot for preventing muscle loss in healthy men
This study tests if a natural substance (nitrate) from beets can help prevent muscle loss in young men when a leg is immobilized. You would stay at a research center for about 10 days with one leg in a cast to simulate a temporary injury.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–44 - NCT05343286Recruiting
Personalized exercise plan for older adults
This study looks for health “signals” that can help tailor a physical activity program for people aged 60 and older. It may help decide which exercise approach works best for different individuals over time.
NiceAges 60 years+ - NCT06689618Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation exercise study for older adults
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise helps improve nerve signals to muscles in older adults. It compares older participants (65+) with younger ones (18-39) to see how this type of exercise affects muscle activation.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06089057Enrolling by invitation
Social exercise program for aging with kidney disease

Active living program for early bladder cancer patients with their own bladder
This trial tests whether a structured “active-living” program (helping you be more active in daily life) improves outcomes for people newly diagnosed with operable early bladder cancer. It may help with overall health and quality of life while you receive standard bladder cancer care without removing your bladder.
TaipeiAges Any age - NCT06666881Recruiting

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