Pelvic floor exercises for post-urination dribbling in men
This study tests whether targeted pelvic floor muscle exercises (the muscles you use to stop urination) can reduce unwanted urine leakage that happens after you finish urinating. If the exercises work, it could offer a non-surgical treatment option.

How muscle cells respond to blood sugar in different body types
This research study examines how muscle cells handle blood sugar differently depending on whether someone is lean or has obesity, and whether their body resists insulin. Researchers will take small muscle samples to understand the genetic differences, which may help develop better treatments for insulin resistance and metabolic health.

Karachi, SindhAges 20–50 - NCT07481578Recruiting
Exercise and gut health study for active men
This study looks at how your training load affects your gut bacteria and how that relates to exercise performance and muscle health. It may help understand overreaching in healthy men.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18–45 - NCT07480356RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new bladder cancer treatment (TARA-002) vs standard chemo
This trial compares a new medicine called TARA-002, given directly into the bladder, to the doctor's choice of standard chemotherapy. It is for people with a high-grade, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has not been treated with BCG or has not had BCG recently.
Queen Creek, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07445269Enrolling by invitation
Breathing muscle warm-up for athletes
This study looks at whether warming up your breathing muscles before exercise can help make them stronger during both fast, explosive workouts (like sprinting) and longer, steady endurance exercise (like jogging). It might be a good option for young athletes who want to see if a simple warm-up can boost their performance.
ÇorumAges 14–30 - NCT07437547RecruitingPhase 2
BPC 157 for acute hamstring muscle repair
This study tests whether an investigational peptide called BPC 157 can help heal a grade II hamstring strain (a pulled muscle) faster and more completely. If you have a recent hamstring injury and are active in sports or exercise, this trial may be an option.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–45 - NCT07440615Recruiting
Leg muscle and heart performance in active adults
This study looks at how leg muscle size relates to heart and muscle performance in healthy men and women. It aims to understand normal differences between sexes.
EskişehirAges 18–30 - NCT07441447Recruiting
Muscle strength and mass in inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at muscle strength and muscle mass in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It aims to understand how IBD affects muscles, which can help improve patient care.
Sakarya, AdapazarıAges 18 years+ - NCT07405060Recruiting
How age and muscle fatigue affect balance and control
This study looks at how getting older and muscle tiredness change your ability to keep your balance and control your movements. It may help explain why some people are more likely to fall.
TaoyuanAges 20–85 - NCT07406659Recruiting
Inspiratory muscle training for COPD patients
This trial compares different types of breathing muscle exercises for people with COPD. It aims to find which training is most helpful for improving breathing and daily life.
Yalova, YalovaAges 18 years+ - NCT06833489Recruiting
Using genetic testing to find answers for rare muscle diseases
This study looks at leftover muscle tissue from people who have had genetic testing for rare muscle diseases but didn't get a clear diagnosis. The goal is to use newer genetic analysis to find the cause of their disease.
MarseilleAges Any age - NCT07362862Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation to prevent ICU weakness
This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate leg muscles, helping prevent muscle weakness in ICU patients with severe infections. It may help you recover strength faster and avoid long-term disability.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT07332845Recruiting
Neck and hamstring therapy for chronic pain

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,106 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.
