Study exercise and body muscle changes in advanced lung cancer
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.
Copenhagen, DKAges 18–100 - NCT04547816RecruitingPhase 3
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 - 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.

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.
