Hot Baths and Muscle Recovery in Young Athletes
This study tests whether taking hot baths before or after intense exercise helps young track-and-field athletes recover better and triggers natural protective proteins in their muscles. Researchers will measure muscle strength and a cellular protein called HSP70 to see if heat helps the body bounce back from hard workouts.
AmiensAges 19–25 - NCT07545694Recruiting
Bladder Drug Study for Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery
This study tests how certain drugs affecting the endocannabinoid system (a natural body signaling pathway) affect bladder muscle function in people with bladder cancer who are preparing for or undergoing surgery. Researchers hope this research will help preserve bladder function during cancer treatment.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07547566Recruiting
TECAR Therapy vs. Cycling for Athletic Recovery
This study compares two recovery methods—TECAR therapy (a heating treatment) and cycling—to see which helps young athletes recover better after jumping exercises. The goal is to understand which approach reduces fatigue and helps athletes bounce back faster.
Córdoba, CórdobaAges 18 years+ - NCT07547605RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing PRP, Steroid, and Combined Injections for Neck and Shoulder Pain
This study tests three different injection treatments for upper trapezius myofascial pain (a specific type of muscle knot in your neck/shoulder area). Researchers will compare platelet-rich plasma (PRP, made from your own blood), a steroid injection, and a combination of both to see which works best for pain relief.
Kyrenia, KeryneiaAges 18–65 - NCT07543484Recruiting
Tennis Serve Movement Study for Shoulder Pain
This research study examines how your shoulder muscles and joints move during a tennis serve, comparing players with shoulder pain to those without. The goal is to better understand shoulder injuries in tennis and help prevent or treat them.
TaipeiAges 18–40 - NCT07548502Recruiting
Night Guard Effect on Jaw Muscle Size in Children With Teeth Grinding
This study looks at whether wearing a night guard (a protective dental device) can help reduce jaw muscle thickness in children who grind their teeth at night. Researchers will measure changes in the masseter muscle, which is the main chewing muscle in your jaw.
NiğdeAges 10–12 - NCT06687343Recruiting
Do amino acids help maintain muscle in young men?
This study looks at how certain amino acids (building blocks of protein) help maintain muscle mass. Healthy young men eat a special diet and have their muscle protein production measured to see if non-essential amino acids matter for keeping muscles strong.
MaastrichtAges 18–35 - NCT06454838Recruiting
Exercise and blood vessel health in children with pulmonary hypertension
This study looks at how exercise affects the lungs, blood vessels, and oxygen use in children with pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It compares them to healthy children to understand how the condition impacts the body.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 6–18 - NCT06407830Recruiting
Walking therapy with and without muscle stimulation for stroke recovery
This study tests whether adding electrical muscle stimulation to a walking and movement program helps stroke survivors walk better, become more independent, and improve their quality of life.

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.
