Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 65–85 - NCT06129110Recruiting
Weight loss and muscle fat study for adults aged 18-70
This study looks at how losing weight affects the fat that sits inside your muscles (called intermuscular fat). It might help people with overweight to better understand how weight loss can improve muscle health.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–70 - NCT06395506Recruiting
Exercise and creatine for breast cancer survivors
This trial tests if adding creatine supplements to a virtual exercise program helps breast cancer survivors recover after chemotherapy. Participants will attend online exercise sessions three times a week and take creatine by mouth.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06441422Recruiting
Blood flow training for people with disabilities
This trial tests if using a blood pressure cuff during arm exercises can help people with disabilities build muscle strength. It's designed to be safe and effective for those who can do upper body movements.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06626919RecruitingPhase 1
A cell therapy trial for generalized myasthenia gravis
This trial tests a new cell therapy called anitocabtagene autoleucel (anito-cel) for people with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) that is not well controlled with current treatments. The goal is to see if it can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06772922Recruiting
Pulmonary and heart rehab program testing combined exercise
This trial studies a combined lung and heart rehabilitation program for people with lung diseases (like COPD, asthma, or fibrosis) or heart conditions (like heart attack, bypass surgery, or heart failure). The goal is to see if a special exercise program can improve your health and quality of life.
Campinas, São PauloAges 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 - NCT06786390Recruiting
Walking recovery after muscle weakness
This trial tests if a walking program combined with electrical stimulation can help people recover walking ability after critical illness. It is for patients who developed limb weakness in the hospital and were independent before their illness.
MilanAges 18–85 - 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+ - NCT06998134Recruiting
Exoskeleton walking training for children and young adults
This trial tests whether a robotic leg exoskeleton can help improve walking in children and young adults with certain conditions (like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, or spinal cord injury) or those with no walking issues. The goal is to find out if the exoskeleton is safe and effective for everyday use, especially in younger people who might lose the ability to walk as they get older.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–25 - NCT06977958Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle weakness?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 55 recruiting muscle weakness 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 weakness 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 weakness 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.
