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 - NCT07450690Recruiting
Exercise training for muscle function in mitochondrial myopathy
This study tests whether exercise training can improve muscle function in adults with mitochondrial myopathy, a condition that affects how muscles produce energy. Participants will follow an exercise program to see if it helps their muscle strength and daily activities.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07559344Recruiting
Hot Baths and Muscle Recovery in Young Athletes
This study tests whether taking hot baths before or after intense exercise helps young track-and-field athletes recover better and triggers natural protective proteins in their muscles. Researchers will measure muscle strength and a cellular protein called HSP70 to see if heat helps the body bounce back from hard workouts.
AmiensAges 19–25 - NCT07564921Enrolling by invitation
Nutrition and Muscle Strength in Multiple Sclerosis With Swallowing Difficulty
This study looks at how nutritional status and muscle function relate to each other in people with multiple sclerosis who have difficulty swallowing. Understanding this connection may help doctors better support patients with MS who struggle with eating and drinking.
Gaziantep, şehitkamilAges 18–65 - NCT07522398Recruiting
Power Training Study for Adults Over 65
This study tests whether short, intense strength exercises can help older adults build muscle and stay stronger. You'll do exercises designed to build power (the ability to move quickly and forcefully) over several weeks, and researchers will measure changes in your strength and daily function.
Diepenbeek, FlandersAges 65–85 - NCT06205147Recruiting
Elastic band exercise for strength and mood in older hospital patients
This study tests whether using elastic bands for resistance exercises can help older adults in the hospital improve their muscle strength and reduce symptoms of depression. If you are 65 or older, staying in the hospital for more than a week, and able to follow simple instructions, this might be a good fit.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 65 years+ - NCT06706492Recruiting
Muscle oxygen and frailty in kidney transplant patients
This study looks at how well muscles use oxygen and how frailty affects kidney transplant recipients, especially those with weak breathing muscles. It may help understand why some patients feel more tired or weak after transplant.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06536816Recruiting
Game-based training vs small-sided games for football players
This study compares two types of football training: game-like drills based on your position and small-sided games. It aims to see which helps players improve skills and fitness best.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–30 - NCT07506499Recruiting
Cardiac Rehab for Hospitalized Heart Failure Patients
This study tests whether a cardiac rehabilitation program (a supervised exercise and education plan) helps people recovering in the hospital from severe heart failure. It is for those aged 45–65 whose heart pumps less than 40% of its normal amount.
Banī Suwayf, Beni-Suef GovernorateAges 45–65 - NCT05856136RecruitingPhase 4
Study how opioid exposure affects diaphragm muscle function
This study looks at whether receiving opioids for pain during lower-leg surgery changes how well the diaphragm muscle (the main breathing muscle) works afterward. It compares breathing muscle function in people who do and do not have certain lung conditions.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06291389Recruiting
Airway pressure changes during tummy tuck surgery
This trial tests how changes in airway pressure during tummy tuck surgery affect breathing after the operation. It is for healthy adults having a tummy tuck with muscle tightening.

Vagus nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve arm movement, breathing, and quality of life in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It involves a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck during therapy sessions.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–70 - NCT07677033Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 158 recruiting muscle function 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 function 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 function 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.
