Comparing two anesthetics for muscle loss in colon surgery
This trial tests whether one type of anesthesia (TIVA) is better than another (balanced anesthesia) at preventing muscle loss in patients undergoing open colorectal cancer surgery. If you are scheduled for this surgery, your participation could help doctors learn which approach is gentler on your muscles.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle mass?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 51 recruiting muscle mass 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 mass 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 mass 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.
