Recruiting studies
- NCT06816836Recruiting
Measuring leg muscle mass to predict hospital stay after cancer surgery

Study vibration after ACL injury and future arthritis risk
This study looks at whether using vibration after an ACL injury helps predict or reduce the risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis) later. It may help researchers learn which patients are more likely to develop arthritis after ACL reconstruction.

Derby, DerbyshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06970522Recruiting
Wearable sensors to detect muscle problems in babies
This trial uses small wearable sensors to measure muscle activity in babies with low or typical muscle tone. The goal is to better spot early signs of movement problems so therapy can start sooner.
Chicago, IllinoisAges birth–2 months - NCT06547515Recruiting
Bone and muscle health after sleeve gastrectomy
This study looks at how sleeve gastrectomy surgery affects bone and muscle health in men and women at different life stages (before and after menopause). It compares people having the surgery with those who qualify but don't have it.
QuébecAges 18 years+ - NCT06953258Enrolling by invitation
Lengthening muscle exercises for older adults' function
This study tests whether a special type of exercise (eccentric training, which focuses on lengthening your muscles) can improve your ability to move and balance. It is designed for healthy older adults who are not already doing strength training.
NantesAges 60–80 - NCT06936670Recruiting
Breathing exercises for heart and kidney health in type 2 diabetes
This study tests if a special breathing exercise program (strengthening your breathing muscles) can improve heart, kidney, and blood vessel health in young people with type 2 diabetes. It is a 12-week home-based program that might help your body work better.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 14–40 - NCT06490250Recruiting
Breathing vs. movement exercises for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
This study compares two types of gentle exercises—breathing muscle training and a traditional Chinese movement practice called Baduanjin—to see which helps people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy feel better and improve their daily life. If you have a thickened heart muscle but are stable and have mild symptoms, you may be able to join.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06929286RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy vs standard care for bladder cancer after BCG fails
This trial compares a gene therapy (nadofaragene firadenovec) against standard care for people with an early-stage bladder cancer that has not responded to BCG. The goal is to see if this treatment is more effective and possibly helps avoid bladder removal.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21 years+ - NCT06919965RecruitingPhase 3
TAR-210 vs. standard bladder chemo for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial compares a new drug called TAR-210, given directly into the bladder, to standard chemotherapy for people with a specific type of high-risk bladder cancer that has not invaded muscle. It tests if TAR-210 can be more effective with fewer side effects.
Sun City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06920095Enrolling by invitation
Relaxation exercises for better sleep and less pain in lymphoma
This trial tests if progressive muscle relaxation exercises can help lymphoma patients sleep better, feel less tired, and have less pain. You will be guided through simple exercises using your phone.
Küçükçekmece, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06907914Recruiting
Special exercises for hyperkyphosis in children
This study tests whether special exercises (Schroth and scapular muscle activation) can improve posture and reduce the curve in children with a rounded upper back (hyperkyphosis). It may help if you are a young person with a moderate curve and no other spinal issues.

ViennaAges 35 years+ - NCT06859463Enrolling by invitation
Muscle function and tenderness in headache patients
This study looks at how your neck and shoulder muscles work and feel tender if you have frequent headaches (at least 10 days per month). The researchers want to see if there are differences in muscle function and tenderness between people with migraine, tension-type headache, or posttraumatic headache.

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.
