Recruiting studies
- NCT06050668RecruitingPhase 2
Amino acid supplement study for broken hip in older adults
This study tests whether giving extra essential amino acids (building blocks of protein) to older adults hospitalized with a broken femur (thigh bone) can improve their recovery. If you are 65 or older, broke your femur from a simple fall, and are having surgery to fix it, you may be able to join.
Iowa City, IowaAges 65 years+ - NCT05926219Recruiting
Study C-protein changes with fatigue and aging
This study looks at how a blood protein called C-protein relates to fatigue and aging, and how exercise affects it. You may be able to join if you’re otherwise healthy and willing to do muscle testing and activity monitoring.
Eugene, OregonAges 18–80 - NCT05754632Recruiting
Blood flow restriction exercises after ACL surgery in teens
This trial tests whether a special type of exercise that uses a cuff (blood flow restriction training, or BFRT) can help teens recover after ACL reconstruction. It’s designed to see if adding BFRT to standard rehab improves strength and return to sport.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges 12–18 - NCT03201094Recruiting
NMES and whey protein for recovery after aneurysmal brain bleed
This pilot study tests whether a therapy that gently stimulates nerves (NMES) and a whey-protein supplement (HPRO) can improve recovery after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a type of bleeding around the brain. Participants are usually treated soon after the bleed and stay in the ICU long enough for the study measures.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07178353Recruiting
How bedrest affects leg muscles in young adults
This study looks at how 5 days of complete bedrest changes the leg muscles of healthy young adults. It may help researchers understand muscle loss and how to prevent it.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18–30 - NCT07478172Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation exercise for neuromuscular disease
This study tests whether whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (using small electrodes on the skin) can help adults with certain neuromuscular diseases exercise and improve muscle strength. It may be an option if you can stand for about 15 minutes at a time and have some muscle strength left.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05008705Recruiting
Protein and muscle stimulation for hospitalized seniors
This trial tests whether increasing protein intake plus using a gentle electrical muscle stimulation device can help maintain or build muscle mass in older adults while they are hospitalized. It may help prevent muscle loss that can happen after short hospital stays.
São PauloAges 65 years+ - NCT06532474Recruiting
Muscle function study in SMA patients on SMN therapies
This study looks at how muscles work in children and young adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who are taking or starting SMN-directed therapies (like Evrysdi, Spinraza, or Zolgensma). It aims to understand the body's response to these treatments, which could help improve future care.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 5–20 - NCT05869812RecruitingPhase 2
HMB supplement study to help recovery after surgery
This trial tests whether taking an HMB supplement after surgery can help improve muscle size and function during recovery. It may be helpful if you are a female athlete planning rehab at a specific physical therapy clinic.
Overland Park, KansasAges 18–45 - NCT05211661Recruiting
Diaphragm health during breathing machine support
This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) changes when a person is on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors understand how to better support breathing and recovery.
AachenAges 18–75 - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle atrophy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 36 recruiting muscle atrophy 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 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 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.
