Blood Flow Restriction Training for Basketball Recovery
This study tests whether briefly restricting blood flow to the legs (using an arm cuff on the thigh) can help male basketball players recover faster and improve leg strength after games. Researchers want to see if this technique, called ischemic preconditioning, reduces fatigue and speeds healing.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–25 - NCT06715748RecruitingPhase 4
Ketone drink study for cyclists after hard exercise
This study tests if taking a ketone drink before intense cycling helps your heart recover faster afterwards. It's for healthy recreational cyclists who are very fit for their age and sex.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18–50 - NCT05008705Recruiting
Protein and muscle stimulation for hospitalized seniors
This trial tests whether increasing protein intake plus using a gentle electrical muscle stimulation device can help maintain or build muscle mass in older adults while they are hospitalized. It may help prevent muscle loss that can happen after short hospital stays.

Pregabalin and Movement Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis Pain
This trial tests whether a nerve pain medication called pregabalin, applied through ultrasound waves to your knee, combined with gentle movement exercises, can reduce pain in advanced knee osteoarthritis. You'll attend 16 treatment sessions over 4 weeks to see if this combination helps.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07600359Recruiting
Physical therapy techniques for sacroiliac joint pain
This study compares two hands-on physical therapy techniques to reduce lower back pain, improve walking, and restore function in people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (a condition affecting the joint connecting your spine to your pelvis). You'll receive treatment and be assessed to see which technique works better.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–45 - NCT05740514Recruiting

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.
