Recruiting studies
- NCT06811324RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide for muscle and vessel health in older adults
This study tests if the drug tirzepatide can improve muscle and blood vessel health in older adults with obesity. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a BMI between 30 and 40, and do not have diabetes.
San Antonio, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT05449119Recruiting
Study links gut health, diet, and thinking and movement in seniors
This study looks at how differences in gut bacteria and nutrition may relate to changes in thinking and movement in people over 75 who have a reduced appetite (“small eaters”). It may help doctors better understand what could be contributing to these problems and how nutrition might play a role.
DijonAges 75 years+ - NCT07365098Recruiting
Liver Transplant and the 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test
This study looks at how well people waiting for a liver transplant can do a simple 30-second test of standing up and sitting down. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors understand your physical strength before surgery.
MalatyaAges 18–65 - NCT05903001Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing to help track lung disease
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06672497Recruiting
Testing a light sensor for muscle health in breast and gynecological cancer patients
This study uses a safe, non-invasive light sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure how well your muscles use oxygen. Researchers want to learn if this tool can help monitor muscle health in people with breast or gynecological cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 20 years+ - NCT06660706Recruiting
Exercise study for older adults with slow walking or weak grip
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help improve muscle strength and overall health in people aged 65 and older. It also looks for certain markers in the blood that may be linked to the benefits of exercise.
TaipeiAges 65 years+ - NCT06472349Recruiting
Upper trapezius muscle and chronic shoulder pain study
This study looks at how the upper trapezius muscle works and how it may be linked to long-term shoulder pain. Researchers will measure muscle shape, activity, and how you move your shoulder to understand pain better.
TaipeiAges 18–50 - NCT06925880Recruiting
Can creatine help seniors recover strength after knee replacement?
This trial tests if taking creatine supplements can help people aged 65+ rebuild muscle mass and strength more quickly after total knee replacement surgery. Participants will take creatine during their standard outpatient rehab program.
Mataró, BarcelonaAges 65 years+ - NCT06410014Recruiting
Assessing overall health in patients with complex needs
This study tests a method for evaluating overall functioning in patients who have complex health problems. It aims to help doctors better understand your situation and improve care.
FrederiksbergAges 18 years+ - NCT06673953Recruiting
Breathing training for heart surgery recovery with neck posture problems
This trial tests whether a breathing exercise device can improve heart and lung function in men who had heart bypass surgery at least 3 months ago and also have neck pain from poor posture. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger after surgery.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 45–55 - NCT07315724Recruiting
Block training for brain and hand health in older adults
This trial tests whether a technology-assisted block training program can improve thinking skills, hand coordination, and grip strength in older adults living in the community. It may help keep your mind and hands active as you age.
Yilan, TaiwanAges 65 years+ - NCT05708885Recruiting
Testing a tool to change esophagus muscle movement
This study looks at how a device affects how the esophagus muscles squeeze and relax. It may help people better understand swallowing problems, even if their usual esophagus test looks normal.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–90 - NCT05945212Recruiting
Vibration therapy to help leg recovery after subacute stroke
This study tests whether a program using local vibrations on the muscles in the front of your ankle can improve leg nerve and movement recovery after stroke. It may help people who have weak ankle lifting during the weeks to months after stroke.
Le Chambon-FeugerollesAges 18–80 - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.

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.
