BarcelonaAges Any age - 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 - NCT07515144Enrolling by invitation
Nerve Stretching for Muscle Strength in Older Adults
This study tests whether a gentle nerve-stretching technique in the leg can help older adults with age-related muscle loss regain strength and muscle size. You'll attend sessions where a therapist guides your leg through specific movements designed to mobilize nerves and improve muscle function.
Seremban, Negeri SembilanAges 60 years+ - NCT05877846Recruiting
Personalized care to improve physical function in older adults
This study looks at precision (personalized) approaches to help older adults improve physical function. It may include giving a specific supplement depending on lab results, and it requires regular study visits and ability to complete procedures.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 65–85 - NCT06196567Recruiting
Pulsed magnetic therapy for knee strength before replacement
This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (a non-invasive treatment using magnetic pulses) can improve muscle strength and function in people with severe knee osteoarthritis who are waiting for knee replacement surgery. It may help you feel stronger and move better before your operation.
Hong Kong, NEW TerritoriesAges 50–100 - NCT06687564Recruiting
Study of ACTG2 gene changes in children with intestinal blockage
This study looks at how changes (mutations) in a gene called ACTG2 affect the muscles that move food through the gut in children and adults with a rare condition called pediatric intestinal pseudo-obstruction (PIPO). It may help researchers understand the condition better and find new ways to help patients.
MontpellierAges 4 years+ - NCT06727500Recruiting
Exercise training for kids with obesity
This trial tests whether two types of exercise training (high-intensity interval training or a mix of HIIT and jumping exercises) improve muscle and tendon health in children and teenagers with obesity. It looks at how results differ based on whether kids are before or after their growth spurt.
SantiagoAges 7–17 - NCT06754982Recruiting
Timing of pain, stiffness, and function in plantar fasciitis after muscle release
This trial tests whether a hands-on therapy called myofascial release can help with morning pain, stiffness, and walking in people with plantar fasciitis. It aims to see how these symptoms change over time after treatment.
Talca, Maule RegionAges 18–60 - NCT07322653Recruiting
Supplements to improve fitness in older adults with muscle loss
This study tests whether a special drink (MediDrink Platinum+) and a bean protein supplement can help improve fitness and muscle strength in older adults who are malnourished and have muscle loss. If you are 60 or older, underweight, and have lost muscle, this trial may offer a way to see if these supplements can help you get stronger.
BudapestAges 60 years+ - NCT07445204Enrolling by invitation
Electrical stimulation for swallowing after stroke

Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07595341Enrolling by invitation
Breathing Training for Competitive Swimmers
This study tests whether a special breathing-exercise program can improve how well swimmers' lungs work and their swimming performance. Researchers will teach swimmers techniques to strengthen the muscles used for breathing and measure how it affects their ability to swim.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07581587Recruiting
Breathing Exercises and Brain Function in Heart Failure

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.
