Electrical stimulation and light resistance training for older adults' muscles
This study tests whether combining electrical muscle stimulation (a gentle electrical current applied to muscles) with light resistance exercises can help adults over 65 build stronger leg muscles and improve their ability to walk and move around.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 65–85 - NCT07646899Recruiting
Unstable Loads and Shoulder Movement in Overhead Athletes
This study investigates how using unstable equipment (like a wobbly barbell) affects shoulder blade movement and muscle use during overhead pressing in athletes with shoulder impingement pain. The goal is to understand whether unstable loads might help improve shoulder mechanics and reduce pain in overhead athletes.
TaipeiAges 18–40 - NCT07654946Recruiting
Taurine supplement and muscle endurance in healthy adults
This study tests whether taking a taurine supplement can help your muscles work longer before getting tired. Researchers will use a light sensor on your leg to see how muscles use oxygen.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 18–40 - NCT07655011Recruiting
Exercise order in lung rehab for COPD patients
This trial tests if the order of exercises during pulmonary rehabilitation can improve muscle strength in people with COPD. It compares different exercise sequences to find the most effective approach.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT07647289RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (eribulin and toripalimab) given before surgery to remove bladder cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for people with advanced or high-risk bladder cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06691204Recruiting
Comparing thumb and pinky for muscle monitoring during surgery
This trial compares two places on the hand—the thumb base and the pinky base—to see which is better for monitoring muscle relaxation during surgery. Participants will have their muscle response measured with a gentle electrical test (electromyography) while receiving a standard muscle relaxant (rocuronium).
Debrecen, Hajdú-BiharAges 18 years+ - NCT07641790Recruiting
Vibration Devices to Improve Arm Movement After Stroke
This study tests whether wearing small vibrating devices on your arm can help improve movement and function in the arm weakened by stroke. The vibrations may help retrain your brain and muscles to work together better during the recovery period.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–60 - NCT07636967Recruiting
Ankle Muscle Strength in Chronic Low Back Pain
This study measures the strength and function of ankle muscles in people with chronic low back pain lasting over 3 months. Understanding how ankle muscles work may help explain why some people develop long-term low back pain.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 20–25 - NCT07630662Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Function and Ventilator Weaning Success
This study looks at whether testing the strength and function of your breathing muscles (diaphragm and chest wall muscles) can predict whether you're ready to come off a ventilator (breathing machine). The goal is to help doctors make better decisions about when patients are ready to breathe on their own.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07636343Recruiting
Eccentric Training for Heart Failure Recovery
This trial tests a special type of strength training (eccentric exercise, where muscles lengthen under load) for people with heart failure who have reduced pumping ability. The goal is to improve your exercise capacity and heart function safely.
EdegemAges Any age - NCT07628478Recruiting
Blood Flow Restriction Training for Military Strength
This study tests a special training method that uses arm or leg bands to restrict blood flow during exercise, designed to help military cadets build muscle and increase strength more effectively. Researchers want to see if this technique improves body composition and maximum strength.
Changsha, ChangshaAges Any age - NCT07625761Recruiting
Testing a new tool to measure tongue muscle strength
This study tests a new device that measures how strong your tongue muscles are. Researchers want to see if this tool works well in healthy adults, which could help doctors assess tongue function in patients with swallowing or speech problems in the future.
BrusselsAges 18–65 - NCT07629141Recruiting
Muscle Position and Dry Needling for Neck Pain
This study tests whether the position of your neck muscle affects how well dry needling (inserting thin needles into tight muscle knots) relieves chronic neck pain. Dry needling may help reduce pain by relaxing tense muscles.
Alcalá de Henares, MadridAges 18–80 - NCT06503523Recruiting
Brain activity during pain and itch
This study tests whether imagining movements changes brain activity when you feel pain or itch. It could help scientists understand how the brain responds to these sensations.
GistrupAges 18–60 - NCT06500390Recruiting
TMD and levonorgestrel IUD use study
This study looks at whether using a levonorgestrel intrauterine device (a hormone-releasing IUD) for at least 3 months is linked to jaw joint problems (temporomandibular disorder). It may help women understand potential side effects of this birth control method.

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.
