This study checks how leg muscles recover after being in the ICU on a breathing machine. It uses a strength test and a special ultrasound to measure muscle health.
Nantes, Loire AtlantiqueAges 18 years+ - NCT07188350Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation for patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether low-level electrical pulses to the leg muscles can help prevent weakness in patients who need a breathing tube (ventilator) for more than 48 hours. It aims to see if this treatment helps patients recover faster.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT07692126Recruiting
Neck pain and hand strength: core vs shoulder exercises
This study compares two types of exercises to see which better improves hand grip strength and neck pain. If you have had chronic myofascial neck pain (trigger points) in the upper shoulder muscle for over 6 months, this trial may help find which exercise works best for you.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 25–45 - NCT06765642Recruiting
Brain stimulation for hand strength after stroke
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called rTMS) can improve hand strength and movement in people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The treatment is delivered through a coil placed on the scalp and does not require surgery.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT06697470Recruiting
Ultrasound and fluid monitoring in the ICU
This study uses ultrasound and electrical impedance (skin electrodes) to track fluid balance in the muscles and tissues of ICU patients. It aims to see if these tools can help doctors better manage fluids during your stay.
Boussu, HainautAges 18 years+ - NCT07024095Recruiting
Breathing muscle training after back surgery for osteoporosis
This study tests whether a simple breathing-muscle training program can help people recover better after vertebroplasty surgery for a broken back caused by osteoporosis. It aims to improve your breathing strength and overall function.
Kayseri, KocasinanAges 50 years+ - NCT03810768Recruiting
Metabolomics study of ICU-acquired weakness after surgery
This study looks at blood and body chemistry (called metabolomics) to understand and possibly predict muscle weakness that can happen in the ICU after surgery. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or monitor this problem.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05537298Recruiting
Help for muscle recovery after serious ICU illness
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06781060Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for sciatic nerve injury in children
This trial tests if electrical nerve stimulation can help children aged 3 to 19 who have nerve damage in the leg caused by an injection. The goal is to improve nerve healing and leg function.
Multan, Punjab ProvinceAges 3–19 - NCT07761468Enrolling by invitation
Standardized medication dosing for ICU patients on ventilators
This study is testing a standardized way to adjust a medication used to help people on ventilators in the ICU. It aims to see if a more consistent dosing approach can help patients breathe better and possibly come off the ventilator sooner.
Querétaro City, QuerétaroAges 18 years+ - NCT05929755RecruitingPhase 4
Depo-Medrol after lumbar surgery through the psoas muscle
This trial studies whether a steroid shot called Depo-Medrol, given after a specific type of lower-back surgery, can improve recovery and outcomes. It’s only for people who are having a certain lumbar fusion procedure at specific spinal levels.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges 18–75 - NCT07413302Recruiting
Predicting recovery after back surgery for leg weakness
This study looks at which factors before surgery help predict how well leg weakness improves after a single-level microdiskectomy (minimally invasive back surgery for a slipped disk). It may help you understand what to expect if you are having this procedure.
KavalaAges 18 years+ - NCT06235736Recruiting
Do ACL tears cause weakness in the soleus muscle?
This study looks at whether people with ACL tears have weakness in a specific calf muscle called the soleus. If you have an ACL tear, you will do strength tests to compare with healthy individuals.
LiverpoolAges 18–55 - NCT06665607Recruiting
Foot muscle training for people with MS
This study tests whether training the small muscles in your feet can improve your walking and balance if you have multiple sclerosis (MS). It is for people with moderate disability, so you can still walk but may have some trouble.
ValladolidAges 18–70 - NCT07171346Enrolling by invitation
Muscle stimulator after ACL reconstruction
This study tests whether a special muscle-stimulating device worn after ACL reconstruction surgery can help your knee recover strength faster. If you qualify, you will use the device at home for a few weeks and your recovery will be checked regularly.
Kansas City, KansasAges 15–50 - NCT06706492Recruiting
Muscle oxygen and frailty in kidney transplant patients
This study looks at how well muscles use oxygen and how frailty affects kidney transplant recipients, especially those with weak breathing muscles. It may help understand why some patients feel more tired or weak after transplant.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06538974Recruiting
Long-term use of an exoskeleton for leg weakness
This trial tests a walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.

Nerve block study for hip replacement pain relief
This study tests two different amounts of a numbing medicine injected around the hip nerves before hip replacement surgery, to see if adding a steroid helps reduce pain after surgery. It aims to improve pain control and recovery.
