Treating gluteus medius tendon weakness after hip replacement
This trial looks at treating a specific hip muscle-tendon problem (gluteus medius insufficiency) after total hip replacement. It may help people who have had ongoing limping despite surgery by using an Achilles tendon–based approach.
MölndalAges 40–80 - NCT05216666Recruiting
Surgery type and leftover limping after hip replacement

MölndalAges 40–80 - NCT05315726Recruiting
Vibration therapy to reduce stiffness after stroke
This trial studies whether regular muscle vibration can reduce post-stroke muscle stiffness and improve how the brain and nerves adapt. If you’re in the right stage after stroke, it may help improve arm and hand movement.

Radio waves for muscle or low back pain and function
This trial tests whether a high-frequency radio-wave treatment can reduce pain and improve movement in adults with a muscle strain (hamstring) or acute or chronic low back pain. It may help you feel less pain and function better, depending on your specific injury and medical details.
KavalaAges 18–65 - NCT05381818Recruiting
Breathing muscle training before joint surgery
This trial tests whether strengthening breathing muscles before total joint surgery can lower the chance of lung complications after the operation. It may help people who already have breathing problems or a history of smoking.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT05459636Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for adults with obesity
This trial tests whether strengthening your breathing muscles (using a device) can improve health and breathing-related symptoms in adults with obesity. It’s meant for people who are otherwise medically stable and meet specific safety rules.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–45 - NCT05518565Recruiting
Study muscle changes in people with cerebral palsy
This study looks at how muscles work in the body in people with cerebral palsy or an acquired brain injury. It may help researchers understand muscle structure and changes over time, which could guide future treatments.
StockholmAges 2–18 - NCT05798962Recruiting
Study of muscle repair changes after calf or hamstring injury
This study looks at what is happening inside muscle tissue after calf or hamstring injuries (new, long-term, or after an Achilles tendon rupture). It may help researchers understand why injuries come back and how muscle healing could be improved.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05919940Recruiting
Testing a muscle stimulation and extra protein plan in ICU patients
This trial tests whether electrical muscle stimulation plus extra protein (protein substitute) can improve muscle health and metabolism in critically ill adults in the ICU. If you’re newly admitted and expected to stay on a breathing machine for several days, it may help you keep more muscle strength during recovery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06167239Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for Guillain-Barre patients on ventilators
This trial compares two methods to help people with Guillain-Barre syndrome who are having trouble breathing on their own after being on a ventilator. It tests if adjusting the ventilator's sensitivity or doing specific breathing muscle exercises can improve blood oxygen levels and help them wean off the machine.
CairoAges 20–55 - NCT06167356Recruiting
Bladder cancer relapse and quality of life study after TURBT
This study tracks patients with early-stage bladder cancer after surgery (TURBT) to see how often the cancer returns and how it affects your daily life.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06217276Recruiting
Breathing muscle fatigue and leg oxygen in COPD
This study looks at how breathing muscle tiredness relates to oxygen levels in leg muscles for people with moderate-to-severe COPD. It may help patients understand their condition better.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT06253104Recruiting
Tracking muscle changes in acute heart failure
This study measures how thigh muscles change in people hospitalized with severe heart failure. It aims to understand muscle loss during this condition and how it relates to recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT06286553Recruiting
Ab muscle repair after childbirth: breathing and core training
This study tests if a program of trunk and breathing exercises can help close the gap in abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that sometimes happens after pregnancy. It is for women who are at least 6 months postpartum and have a muscle separation larger than 2.8 cm.
PátraiAges 18–50 - 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 - NCT06396533Recruiting
Improving cancer staging before bladder removal surgery
This trial tests if adding a special CT scan before bladder removal helps find muscle-invasive bladder cancer earlier. It includes people with different stages of bladder cancer who are planning to have their bladder removed.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06460675Recruiting
Comparing two muscle-relaxing techniques for piriformis syndrome
This study compares two gentle muscle-relaxing techniques (called muscle energy techniques) to treat piriformis syndrome—a condition where a muscle in the buttock presses on a nerve and causes pain. If you have hip or buttock pain that’s been bothersome for at least 3 months and worsens with sitting, this trial may help find a better way to manage your pain.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–45 - NCT06488872Recruiting
Using CT scans to check bone and muscle health in older adults
This study checks if CT scans can measure bone and muscle health as well as standard tests in older adults. If you've had a recent CT scan and simple strength or walking tests, your data may help improve care for seniors.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges Any age - NCT06503614RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab and monalizumab for early bladder cancer
This trial tests two drugs—durvalumab and monalizumab—for people with early-stage bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle and has persisted or returned after BCG treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer and delay or avoid the need for bladder removal surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,147 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.
