Recruiting studies
- NCT07617454Recruiting
Estrogen and Muscle Gain in Postmenopausal Women

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 - NCT07597980Recruiting
Exercise and diet program to strengthen muscles in older adults
This study tests whether a lifestyle program combining exercise and nutrition can help adults over 50 improve their muscle strength and function. You'll work with researchers to see if this approach helps with mobility and overall health.

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 - NCT07490366Recruiting
Exercise vs needle treatment for shoulder muscle pain
This study compares three treatments for long-term shoulder muscle pain: exercises, dry needling (tiny needles into tight muscle spots), and a numbing shot between muscle layers. It aims to find which works best for myofascial pain syndrome.

Calf Muscle Healing and Strength After Tennis Leg
This study looks at how calf muscles heal after a 'tennis leg' injury (a tear in the calf muscle), focusing on remaining weakness and scar tissue formation. It may help understand recovery and guide better rehabilitation.
New Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18–40 - NCT07516990Recruiting
Parathyroid Tissue Injection During Thyroid Surgery
This study tests whether injecting parathyroid tissue into the forearm during thyroid surgery helps prevent low calcium levels after surgery. Parathyroid glands control calcium in your body, and they can be damaged during thyroid surgery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07374341Recruiting
Botox for jaw fractures near the joint
This trial is testing whether guided Botox (botulinum toxin) injections into the chewing muscles can help treat certain types of jaw fractures near the joint. It may be an option if you have a mild to moderate break on one side and your bite is stable.
AlexandriaAges 18–40 - NCT07297758Recruiting
Shoulder muscle activity during extension exercises
This study looks at how a specific back muscle works when you do shoulder exercises. It may help find better ways to strengthen the shoulder.
Ankara, SamandagAges 18–40 - NCT07258576Recruiting
Birth control vs. natural cycle: muscle response to exercise
This study compares how muscle protein responds to resistance exercise in women who use birth control pills versus those with natural menstrual cycles. Participants will do exercise sessions and have muscle samples taken to see how their bodies build protein.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–40 - NCT07251361Enrolling by invitation
Exercise program for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This study tests whether a special exercise program that combines different types of training (like aerobic, strength, and balance) can improve heart and muscle function, daily abilities, and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You may benefit if your heart failure is stable and you are able to exercise safely.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT07210788Recruiting
Crowning time and pelvic floor muscle health
This study looks at how the time spent pushing during delivery affects the muscles that support the pelvic floor. It may help first-time mothers understand how to protect these muscles.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 40–75 - NCT07744165Recruiting
Shoulder muscle and balance study for rotator cuff tear
This study looks at how shoulder problems affect muscle strength and balance. It may help understand why shoulder pain can affect your daily activities.
Istanbul, KadıköyAges 18 years+ - NCT07228936Recruiting
Pectoralis minor tightness and rotator cuff tears
This trial looks at whether tightness in a small chest muscle (pectoralis minor) is linked to rotator cuff tears. If you have a partial rotator cuff tear or a healthy shoulder, you might be able to join to help answer this question.
Ankara, CankayaAges 18–55 - NCT07394998Recruiting
Exercise and Heart Health After Mitral Valve Treatment
This study looks at how well your heart and muscles work during exercise after a mitral valve procedure. It also checks stiffness of your main artery (aorta) and oxygen levels in your muscles.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–80 - NCT07740967Recruiting
Collagen and omega supplements for middle-aged women
This study tests whether daily collagen and omega-3 supplements can improve health in healthy middle-aged women. You would take the supplements for a period and have your health measured.
LoughboroughAges 35–65 - NCT06995677RecruitingPhase 2
TYRA-300 pill for low-grade bladder cancer with FGFR3 change
This study tests an experimental pill called TYRA-300 for people with low-grade bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle layer. The pill targets a specific gene change (FGFR3) found in the tumor. The goal is to see if it can slow or shrink the cancer.
Homewood, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07046936Recruiting
Mitochondria and resilience in gynecologic cancer
This study looks at how cell energy (mitochondria) relates to a person's ability to bounce back during treatment for advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer. If you qualify, you'll have tissue and blood samples analyzed alongside standard therapy to help find why some people handle treatment better than others.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 50 years+ - NCT07734506Recruiting
Muscle thickness and sarcopenia in stroke survivors
This study looks at how thigh muscle thickness measured by ultrasound relates to muscle weakness and fear of movement in people who have had a stroke. It may help find better ways to assess muscle health and recovery.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 40–80 - NCT07732894Recruiting
Exercise and Guided Imagery for Bowel Symptoms After Cancer Surgery
This study tests if combining gentle aerobic exercise with guided imagery (a relaxation technique using your imagination) can help improve bowel control and reduce symptoms after rectal cancer surgery.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07731737Recruiting
Biofeedback vs foam roller for knee osteoarthritis
This trial compares two non-surgical therapies—pressure biofeedback and foam rolling—to see which better reduces pain, improves muscle function, and boosts quality of life in people with early-stage knee osteoarthritis.
LahoreAges 45–65 - NCT07731035Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,160 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.
