Home IV fluids after bladder removal surgery
This trial tests if giving IV fluids at home after bladder removal surgery is safe and helpful. It aims to reduce dehydration and hospital visits after you go home.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07224646Recruiting
Light therapy for professional soccer players during a championship
This trial tests if a type of light therapy (called photobiomodulation) on the whole body can help professional soccer players recover faster and perform better during a championship. It involves 8 weeks of sessions alongside your regular training.
Porto Feliz, São PauloAges 18–35 - NCT05414292Recruiting
Testing rapamycin effect on exercise muscle function in older adults
This study looks at how rapamycin (a medication that affects a growth signal in the body) changes muscle responses when older adults do resistance exercise. It may help researchers understand whether this treatment could improve or alter muscle function with aging.
DerbyAges 50–90 - NCT06188767Recruiting
Testosterone and muscle memory study
This study looks at whether taking testosterone can help muscles 'remember' past strength training. You may be able to join if you are healthy, don't smoke, and have not been lifting weights regularly in the last year.
CopenhagenAges 18–40 - NCT06064695Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation exercise for myasthenia gravis
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise can help adults with generalized myasthenia gravis. It also enrolls healthy controls for comparison. If you have MG and can stand for about 15 minutes, this may be an option.
Fairway, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06916494RecruitingPhase 1
Rutin plus immunotherapy and chemo before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of the natural supplement rutin, an immunotherapy (tislelizumab), and two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and cisplatin) before surgery for bladder cancer that didn't respond to initial chemo. It aims to see if this mix can shrink tumors better.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06924125Recruiting
Natural history study for LAMA2 muscular dystrophy
This study follows people with LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy over time to better understand the condition. It may help with future treatments by learning more about how the disease progresses.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges birth–100 years - NCT06939244Recruiting
Krill oil for muscle recovery after exercise in older adults
This trial tests whether taking krill oil helps people 60 and older recover faster from muscle-straining exercise. If you do light resistance exercise less than 1 hour per week and have no major health issues, you may qualify.
Glasgow, OtherAges 60 years+ - NCT07187063Recruiting
Using urine tests to reduce checkups for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether monitoring urine tumor DNA can safely reduce how often patients need invasive cystoscopy checkups after initial treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07178353Recruiting
How bedrest affects leg muscles in young adults
This study looks at how 5 days of complete bedrest changes the leg muscles of healthy young adults. It may help researchers understand muscle loss and how to prevent it.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18–30 - NCT06948942Recruiting
Exercise ability in interstitial lung disease
This study compares exercise capacity, muscle oxygen levels, and physical activity between people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how ILD affects daily movement and overall fitness.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT06334601Recruiting
Sleep apnea test to measure airway collapse and muscle response
This study looks at how the upper airway collapses and how muscles respond in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during sleep. It may help researchers understand why some treatments work better for some people.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07173088Recruiting

This study tests a new exercise program called the Ankle Muscle Power (AMP) program to help people get back to full duty after an ankle fracture surgery. It aims to see if this program is effective and practical for recovery.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–50 - NCT06201403Recruiting
COPD: Breathing Muscle Strength and Flexibility Study
This study looks at the strength and flexibility of muscles you use to breathe, including muscles in your chest and neck. If you have moderate-to-severe COPD and have been stable on your medications, it may help researchers understand how these muscles are affected.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,109 recruiting muscle 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 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.
