Using neck muscle scans to predict frailty before ENT surgery
This study looks at neck CT scans to see if muscle size can help predict frailty in people having ear, nose, or throat surgery. It may help doctors better prepare for your recovery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06689761Enrolling by invitation
Collagen peptides and exercise: muscle strength study
This trial tests whether taking collagen peptides before exercise can improve how your muscles adapt to strength training. It could help you build muscle more effectively.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–40 - NCT05929508Recruiting
Rebuilding leg strength after above-knee amputation
This study tests a new approach to improve walking ability and leg function after an above-knee (transfemoral) amputation. It may help by targeting muscle loss and supporting safer, stronger mobility over time.

ZagrebAges 18 years+ - NCT06493669Recruiting
Immune cells, muscle, and memory in aging
This study looks at how certain immune cells (Treg cells) in your body relate to your muscle strength and thinking skills as you age. It may help researchers understand how to keep older adults' minds sharp.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 40–90 - NCT07675642Recruiting
Ultrasound feedback for first-time moms with pelvic floor tightness at term
This study tests whether using ultrasound to show you how your pelvic floor muscles move during labor can help first-time moms who have a specific muscle tightness called levator ani co-activation. It may improve birth outcomes for you and your baby.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT05801185Enrolling by invitation
Studying muscle changes after leg unloading in healthy young adults

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,162 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.
