Robotic arm training for people with tetraplegia
This study tests whether robotic arm training helps people with tetraplegia (paralysis of both arms and legs) improve arm and hand strength after a recent spinal cord injury. Participants use a robot that guides their arm movements, and the study checks if this training leads to better function.
Negrar, VenetoAges 18–80 - NCT07861906Recruiting
Wearable device for jaw muscle pain
This study tests a 24-hour wearable device that tracks jaw muscle activity to better understand and manage chronic jaw muscle pain. You would wear the device for a day to see how your muscles behave, which could help improve future treatments.
Downers Grove, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07866625Recruiting
Muscle mass and health in intensive care patients
This study looks at how muscle mass relates to vital signs and blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in adults staying in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors better understand and care for patients who are critically ill.
ErzurumAges 18 hours+ - NCT07863908Recruiting
Sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome study in China
This study looks at patients with sepsis (a severe infection that affects organs) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS, a serious lung condition) to learn more about these illnesses and improve care.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07854028Recruiting
Muscle release techniques for low back pain
This study tests two hands-on treatments—strain counter strain and muscle energy technique—to ease low back pain and improve movement. It may help if you have had low back pain for 3–6 months and have specific tender spots in your back muscles.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–40 - NCT07860697Recruiting
MRI study of back pain and spine changes
This study looks at MRI images of the lower back to see how body fat, back muscles, and small spine joints relate to long-term back pain. It may help doctors understand back pain better and improve future treatments.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT05775588Recruiting
Lung valve treatment for severe COPD
This study tests tiny valves placed in your airways to see if they improve your heart and muscle function over the long term. It's for people with severe COPD (chronic lung disease) and significant emphysema damage.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT05596474Recruiting
Beetroot juice and light therapy for muscle tiredness
This study tests whether drinking beetroot juice and using a special light on your arm can help reduce muscle tiredness during exercise. It might make your workouts feel easier.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 65 years+ - NCT06336070Recruiting
Power training for metabolic health in postmenopausal cancer survivors
This trial compares two types of exercise—muscle power training and metabolic power training—to see which better improves your body's ability to use energy and control heart function. You may qualify if you are a postmenopausal woman who has had breast cancer and is not currently active.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 35–75 - NCT06441110RecruitingPhase 3
BCG instillation for medium- to high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests whether a specific schedule of BCG (a weakened germ that boosts the immune system) placed directly into the bladder is safe and effective for medium- to high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't grown into the muscle. It aims to see if adjusting the standard BCG course can work better for people with a PD-L1-positive tumor.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07843095Recruiting
Protein supplement for muscle health during menstrual cycle
This study tests whether taking a protein supplement during the luteal phase of your menstrual cycle can help prevent muscle breakdown. It may help women who want to maintain muscle strength and understand how their cycle affects their body.
Conroe, TexasAges 18–35 - NCT07847424Recruiting
Daily heat therapy for people reducing physical activity
This study tests whether daily heat therapy (sauna sessions) can help maintain fitness and health when people temporarily reduce their physical activity. If you are a healthy adult, you might be able to join and contribute to understanding how heat affects the body.
Provo, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT07847788Recruiting
Using brain monitoring during gallbladder surgery
This study checks whether a special brain-monitoring device (entropy monitoring) can help anesthesiologists give just the right amount of anesthesia during gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to see if this leads to using less anesthesia and a faster recovery after surgery.

It may help with overall health and quality of life while you receive standard bladder cancer care without removing your bladder.
TaipeiAges Any age - NCT07836088Recruiting

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.
