Mobile rehab program with interval exercise after COVID-19
This trial tests a coach-supported, phone-based rehabilitation program that includes high-intensity interval-style exercise for people recovering from COVID-19 after a hospital stay. It may help improve breathing, strength, and walking by providing structured exercise at home.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05629325RecruitingPhase 4
Buspirone for weak or missing esophagus contractions
This study tests whether buspirone helps people whose esophagus does not squeeze properly (or doesn’t squeeze at all), causing swallowing problems. You would be assigned to buspirone or a placebo and monitored to see if symptoms improve.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT05729061Recruiting
Testing movement with mobility assistive devices
This study measures how people move while using assistive devices during guided movement tasks, sometimes on a treadmill. It may help improve these tools and how safely they support different types of movement needs.
Edmonds, WashingtonAges 18–90 - NCT05865314Recruiting
Nutrition plus early therapy for adults in long ICU stays
This trial studies whether a planned nutrition plan, along with early physiotherapy (physical therapy), can improve outcomes for adults who expect to stay in the ICU for at least 7 days. It includes people who need feeding through a tube and/or special IV nutrition while on a breathing machine.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT05929027Recruiting
At-home gaming and exercise after stroke
This study tests whether an at-home program using gaming and hand exercises can improve arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It may help you practice more comfortably at home with regular remote check-ins.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21 years+ - NCT06059872Recruiting
Study of high-intensity interval training after stroke
This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program can help people with walking difficulties after a stroke. It looks for veterans who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and walk slowly, to see if this type of exercise can improve their recovery.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18–89 - NCT06062303Recruiting
Capillary refill time to guide septic shock treatment
This trial tests a new way of giving fluids and medicines to people with septic shock. It focuses on a simple sign called capillary refill time (how fast color returns when you press a fingernail) to guide treatment, aiming to improve recovery.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06152302Recruiting
Water mobility test for infants with SMA
This study tests how well infants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) can move in water. The goal is to see if gentle water exercises can help with muscle weakness and overall development.
GarchesAges Up to 1 year - NCT06184945Recruiting
Study of ICU staffing and support strategies
This study looks at how different staffing and support strategies may help patients who need a breathing machine in the ICU. Researchers want to see if these approaches can improve care and recovery.
Iowa City, IowaAges 19 years+ - NCT06193980Recruiting
ICU recovery exercise test study
This trial looks at how well your heart and lungs work together after a long stay in the ICU on a breathing machine. It uses a simple exercise test to check your recovery after leaving the hospital.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT06374719Recruiting
TNNT1 myopathy natural history study
This study follows people with a rare genetic muscle condition called TNNT1 myopathy over time. Researchers will track how the disease progresses to better understand it and help plan future treatments.
Gordonville, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT06425211Recruiting
Pelvic Floor Therapy for ED & Premature Ejaculation
This trial tests if pelvic floor therapy (exercises) can help men with erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. It may be a drug-free option to improve your sexual health.
Bogotá, CundinamarcaAges 18–100 - NCT06461234Recruiting
Pelvic floor rehab for women with pelvic floor issues
This trial tests a pelvic floor rehabilitation program (using exercises and possibly electrical or magnetic stimulation) for women with weak pelvic muscles after childbirth or mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to improve muscle strength and reduce prolapse symptoms.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06503172RecruitingPhase 2
Job's Tear for muscle health in older adults
This trial tests if whole grain Job's Tear can improve muscle health, blood sugar, and cholesterol in people aged 60-95 who may feel weak or have slowed down. It looks at whether adding this grain to your diet helps with daily energy and walking speed.
TaipeiAges 60–95 - NCT06574737Recruiting
Can muscle signals predict arm recovery after stroke?
This study tests whether a simple muscle signal test (called surface EMG) can predict how well your arm will recover after a stroke. It involves placing small stickers on your skin to measure muscle activity while you try to move your affected arm.
Bandung, West JavaAges 18 years+ - NCT06575140Recruiting
Stroke recovery arm stimulation study
This study tests a noninvasive stimulation technique to help improve arm movement in people who recently had a stroke. It is for those who still have some ability to move their fingers but have significant weakness on one side.
Mexico CityAges 18–79 - NCT06653998Recruiting
Early movement and rehab in ICU patients
This study tests whether starting physical therapy and movement early is safe and possible for patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to improve recovery for people who are stable enough to participate.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18 years+ - NCT06734598RecruitingPhase 4
Botox for Jaw Tightness After Head and Neck Radiation
This study tests whether Botox injections into the jaw muscles can help head and neck cancer survivors who have trouble opening their mouths (trismus) after radiation therapy. If you have tight or painful jaw muscles and limited mouth opening, this treatment may offer relief.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06767631Recruiting
Muscle and nerve changes after botox for stroke foot tightness
This study looks at how botulinum toxin (botox) injections affect the muscles, tendons, and nerves in the lower leg of people who have had a stroke and have a tight, twisted foot (equinovarus). It aims to understand these changes to improve future treatments.

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.
