Non-surgical treatment for constipation-related prolapse in women
This study tests whether a non-surgical (“conservative”) approach can improve constipation-related bowel problems in women who have a mild-to-moderate rectal bulge from pelvic organ prolapse. It may help by addressing how the rectum and pelvic floor work during bowel movements.
MoscowAges 18–70 - NCT07126977Recruiting
Video game balance training for children with bladder problems
This study tests whether playing balance-based video games, like Wii-Fit, can help improve lower urinary tract dysfunction in children aged 5 to 12. If you're looking for a fun, non-medication approach to your child's bladder issues, this might be an option.
IstanbulAges 5–12 - NCT07641790Recruiting
Vibration Devices to Improve Arm Movement After Stroke
This study tests whether wearing small vibrating devices on your arm can help improve movement and function in the arm weakened by stroke. The vibrations may help retrain your brain and muscles to work together better during the recovery period.

Chinese study tracking myotonic dystrophy type 1 outcomes
This study follows people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) over time to learn more about how the disease progresses. It collects health information and samples to help improve care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05000515Recruiting
Breathing muscle training to lower blood pressure in postmenopause
This study compares a breathing-based exercise program with regular aerobic exercise to help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel function in postmenopausal women. It’s mainly for people with mildly elevated resting blood pressure who are not already doing very intense workouts.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 50 years+ - NCT05929508Recruiting
Rebuilding leg strength after above-knee amputation
This study tests a new approach to improve walking ability and leg function after an above-knee (transfemoral) amputation. It may help by targeting muscle loss and supporting safer, stronger mobility over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07516990Recruiting
Parathyroid Tissue Injection During Thyroid Surgery
This study tests whether injecting parathyroid tissue into the forearm during thyroid surgery helps prevent low calcium levels after surgery. Parathyroid glands control calcium in your body, and they can be damaged during thyroid surgery.

Physical therapy techniques for sacroiliac joint pain
This study compares two hands-on physical therapy techniques to reduce lower back pain, improve walking, and restore function in people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (a condition affecting the joint connecting your spine to your pelvis). You'll receive treatment and be assessed to see which technique works better.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–45 - NCT06851676Recruiting
Testing mineral water's effects on bone and muscle health

MünsterAges 18 years+ - NCT06532903Recruiting
Recovery from facial paralysis study
This trial tests a physical therapy approach to help people recover from Bell's palsy or other types of facial paralysis that started recently (within the last 6 months). It aims to see if specific treatments can improve facial movement and function.

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.
