KavalaAges 18 years+ - NCT06786390Recruiting
Walking recovery after muscle weakness
This trial tests if a walking program combined with electrical stimulation can help people recover walking ability after critical illness. It is for patients who developed limb weakness in the hospital and were independent before their illness.
MilanAges 18–85 - NCT06573086Recruiting
Resistance training, detraining, and retraining
This study looks at how your body responds to resistance training, a break from training, and then training again. It is for healthy adults who already completed a previous exercise study.
Jyväskylä, Central FinlandAges 18–50 - NCT07188350Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation for patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether low-level electrical pulses to the leg muscles can help prevent weakness in patients who need a breathing tube (ventilator) for more than 48 hours. It aims to see if this treatment helps patients recover faster.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT07179042Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Metformin for hip fracture recovery in older adults
This study tests whether the diabetes drug metformin can help older adults recover better after hip fracture surgery. To join, you need to be 60+, have had a low-energy hip fracture fixed within 3 days, and be generally healthy without diabetes or kidney issues.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 60–90 - NCT06998134Recruiting
Exoskeleton walking training for children and young adults
This trial tests whether a robotic leg exoskeleton can help improve walking in children and young adults with certain conditions (like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, or spinal cord injury) or those with no walking issues. The goal is to find out if the exoskeleton is safe and effective for everyday use, especially in younger people who might lose the ability to walk as they get older.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–25 - NCT06977958Enrolling by invitation
Gluteal enhancement trial for non-active women
This trial tests a program called NASM OPT to see if it can improve hip appearance in women who haven't exercised for the last 6 months. It might help you if you're looking to reshape your hips safely.
Ferdows, South Khorasan ProvinceAges 20–45 - NCT06977919Enrolling by invitation
New exercise method for chest firmness and shape
This trial tests a new technique (called NASM OPT) to help improve the shape and firmness of your chest. It is for women who have not been exercising and who want to enhance their chest appearance without using surgery.
Zahedan, Sistan and BaluchestanAges 20–45 - NCT06765642Recruiting
Brain stimulation for hand strength after stroke
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called rTMS) can improve hand strength and movement in people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The treatment is delivered through a coil placed on the scalp and does not require surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle atrophy or weakness?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 163 recruiting muscle atrophy or weakness 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 atrophy or weakness 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 atrophy or weakness 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.
