Seattle, WashingtonAges 14–40 - 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 - NCT06957795Recruiting
Pelvic floor training before surgery for urine leakage
This trial tests if doing pelvic floor exercises before surgery helps women with stress urinary incontinence (leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). It aims to see if preparing the pelvic floor muscles leads to better results after surgery.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06961838Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for substance use recovery
This study tests whether a breathing exercise device can help people recovering from substance use disorder. It may improve how well your breathing muscles work and support your overall treatment.
Istanbul, TurkeyAges 18 years+ - NCT06964438Recruiting

Istanbul, BahcelievlerAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT06972771Recruiting
Trop2-imaging dye helps find early bladder cancer during surgery
This study uses a special imaging dye that targets a protein called Trop2, which is often found on bladder cancer cells. During your surgery, the dye will help doctors see the cancer more clearly with advanced imaging so they can remove it completely.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–80 - NCT06989073Recruiting
Muscle Energy Therapy for Children with Stiff Elbow after Fracture
This study tests a gentle hands-on technique called muscle energy therapy to help children ages 6 to 12 regain elbow movement after a broken arm. It may be a good option if your child's elbow is stiff from a healed fracture and they've been in a cast for at least 4 weeks.
Banī SuwayfAges 6–12 - NCT07009249Recruiting
Pelvic stabilizing exercises for women with urine leakage
This study tests a type of exercise called Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization to see if it helps women with urine leakage. You may be able to join if you leak urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise and have not done pelvic floor training before.
Izmir, İzmirAges 18–62 - NCT07026084Recruiting
Biofeedback training for upper cross syndrome
This trial tests if using biofeedback during exercise can improve muscle strength and posture in people with upper cross syndrome. It may help if you have forward head posture, neck pain for over 3 months, and limited neck movement.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,156 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.
