KavalaAges 18–65 - NCT07466888Recruiting
Adjusting electrical stimulation frequency for tongue muscle activity
This trial tests how changing the frequency of gentle electrical pulses to a tongue muscle affects its activity. It may help people with sleep apnea by strengthening the muscle that keeps the airway open during sleep.

Breathing exercises to improve brain and immune health
This trial tests whether a daily breathing exercise device can improve blood flow to the brain and immune function in people with obesity. It may help reduce health risks linked to excess weight.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–45 - NCT07369440Recruiting
Power training for fall risk in older adults
This study tests whether a community-based power training program can help reduce fall risk in older adults. It compares results for people who have fallen in the past year and those who haven't.
Maia, Porto DistrictAges 65 years+ - NCT07306468Recruiting
Exercise and lung health in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
This study looks at how schizophrenia or bipolar disorder affects your ability to exercise, your lung function, and overall quality of life. It compares people with these conditions to healthy volunteers.
Çankırı, ÇankırıAges 18–65 - NCT06819475Recruiting
Muscle health study for childhood leukemia survivors
This study uses imaging to look at how well the mitochondria (the tiny power plants inside your muscle cells) are working. It compares survivors of childhood leukemia who have low muscle mass to healthy volunteers, to understand muscle health and find ways to help.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06953258Enrolling by invitation
Lengthening muscle exercises for older adults' function
This study tests whether a special type of exercise (eccentric training, which focuses on lengthening your muscles) can improve your ability to move and balance. It is designed for healthy older adults who are not already doing strength training.
NantesAges 60–80 - NCT07488806Recruiting
Understanding Nemaline Myopathy Over Time (Spain)
This study follows people with nemaline myopathy over time to better understand how the disease progresses. It helps researchers learn more about the condition and plan future treatments.
BarcelonaAges Any age - 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 - 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+ - NCT07445204Enrolling by invitation
Electrical stimulation for swallowing after stroke
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation technique on neck muscles can help improve swallowing in people who recently had a stroke. It may be a good option if you are still having trouble swallowing after your stroke.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT06930495Enrolling by invitation
Weight loss and heart failure with normal pumping strength
This study tests whether weight loss treatments can improve muscle and blood vessel function in people with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) who also have obesity. It may help if you have heart failure with a normal ejection fraction and a high BMI.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 165 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.
