Electrical muscle stimulation exercise for neuromuscular disease
This study tests whether whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (using small electrodes on the skin) can help adults with certain neuromuscular diseases exercise and improve muscle strength. It may be an option if you can stand for about 15 minutes at a time and have some muscle strength left.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07474610Recruiting
Belly muscle and arm function in chronic low back pain
This study looks at how a deep belly muscle (transversus abdominis) relates to arm and shoulder function in people with long-term low back pain. It may help understand why some people have trouble with upper body movements.
AnkaraAges 18–45 - NCT06481540Recruiting
Smartphone app for cough training in Parkinson's
This trial tests a smartphone app called SpiroGym to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their cough strength. It aims to see if app-guided exercises can make coughing more effective for clearing the airway.
PragueAges 40–80 - NCT07468851RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of HS-10566 for high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't spread into muscle
This study tests a new treatment called HS-10566 for people with a type of bladder cancer that has not reached the muscle layer and is considered high-risk, where the usual treatments have not worked or were not an option. It aims to control the cancer and avoid the need for removing the bladder.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07443826RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for age-related muscle loss and heart health
This trial tests a gene therapy that may help rebuild muscle and improve blood vessel growth in people ages 35 to 75. It's designed for those with stable health conditions and no history of cancer, heart disease, blood clots, or diabetes.

Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–45 - NCT07389993Recruiting
Breathing muscle study after childbirth
This study looks at how childbirth affects the diaphragm and other breathing muscles in women with and without a condition called diastasis recti abdominis (abdominal muscle separation). It aims to understand differences in breathing muscle function to help guide future treatments.
Pátrai, AchaiaAges 18–50 - NCT07386444Recruiting

- How do I know if I qualify for a muscle 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 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.
