Recruiting studies
- NCT07298720Recruiting

PelviSense device for stress urinary leakage
This trial studies whether a wearable biofeedback device called PelviSense can reduce stress urinary incontinence (leakage that happens with activities like coughing or exercise) and whether it’s worth the cost. If you qualify, you may be asked to use the device and complete study visits and tests to measure symptom changes.
Hong KongAges 35–65 - NCT07294651Recruiting
Needle treatment for chronic neck pain

SivasAges 18–70 - NCT07294131RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing muscle loss in hospitalized older adults
This trial tests a special exercise approach using blood-flow restriction and a video game to help older adults in the hospital keep their muscle strength. The goal is to find a safe way for bedridden patients to exercise and recover better.
AntwerpAges 65 years+ - NCT07296705RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo to save the bladder in HER2-positive bladder cancer
This trial tests combining two newer drugs (zanidatamab and tislelizumab) with standard chemotherapy before bladder surgery. The goal is to shrink the tumor so the bladder can be saved instead of removed.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–85 - NCT07294196Recruiting
Needle therapy for chronic foot pain in adults
This trial tests a new treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis (heel pain) using very thin needles that deliver a mild electrical current to the muscles and fascia. It may help people who have had heel pain for at least 6 weeks and haven't tried other treatments.
Sivas, MerkezAges 18–70 - NCT06160882Recruiting
Powered prosthetic leg for bone-anchored amputees
This study tests a high-tech powered knee and foot for people who have a leg amputation above the knee and have (or are candidates for) a bone-anchored implant. The goal is to see if the powered prosthesis helps with walking and daily activities.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT06735287Recruiting
Bladder-sparing treatment for large bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to treat large, non-invasive bladder cancer before and after surgery. It aims to avoid removing the bladder while still effectively treating the cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07285642Recruiting
Oxygen levels in muscles and brain in COPD patients
This study measures oxygen levels in your brain and leg muscles during exercise to understand how COPD affects them.
IstanbulAges 40–70 - NCT07281651Recruiting
Understanding pain sensitivity in knee pain and fibromyalgia
This study looks at how the brain and nerves process pain in people with knee pain or fibromyalgia. It compares them to pain-free people to understand differences in muscle signals.
Derby, DerbyshireAges 40 years+ - NCT06884644Recruiting
Oxygen levels during death by squats
This study looks at how the oxygen levels in your blood and muscles change during a tough squat exercise called 'death by squats.' It may help us understand how the body handles intense exercise.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06883851Recruiting
Pelvic floor training plus medicine for bedwetting in children
This study tests whether adding pelvic floor muscle training (exercises for the muscles that help control urination) to a medicine called desmopressin works better than medicine alone for children who wet the bed at night. It may be an option if your child has not tried other treatments recently.
Istanbul, BeşiktaşAges 7–13 - NCT05706103Recruiting
Exercise therapy for recurrent low back pain with brain changes
This trial studies whether a specific exercise program can improve recurrent low back pain by changing activity in muscles and the brain. If you have non-specific low back pain that comes and goes over time, you may be asked to do exercises and undergo brain and muscle testing (including MRI).
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18–45 - NCT06887855Recruiting
Swallowing therapy for recent stroke patients
This trial tests two new exercises for people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. If you had a stroke within the last six months and haven't tried swallowing therapy before, this may help you regain strength in your throat muscles.
Doha, Baladiyat ad DawhahAges 18–75 - NCT07277335Recruiting
Muscle Performance in Young Mexican Weightlifters
This study looks at how muscles and movement affect performance in young Mexican weightlifters. It will help understand how to train better and prevent injuries.
San Luis Potosí City, San Luis PotosíAges 13–23 - NCT06889623Recruiting
Chemotherapy right after surgery for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy immediately after surgery can help people with high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07270276Recruiting
Dry needling for shoulder muscle pain
This study tests if dry needling (a therapy that uses thin needles to release muscle knots) can help with shoulder muscle pain. It uses special tests to measure how the treatment affects your muscles and pain.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07269925Recruiting
How different electrical frequencies affect muscle strength and pain
This study tests whether changing the electrical frequency during a type of nerve stimulation (percutaneous neuromodulation) can improve muscle strength and reduce pain sensitivity in people with a hidden muscle knot (trigger point) in the shoulder blade area.
Krakow, PolandAges 18–65 - NCT07273097Recruiting
Ankle muscle fatigue and walking in ankle instability
This trial studies how tired ankle muscles affect walking in people with chronic ankle instability. It compares their walking patterns to healthy people to understand if fatigue makes ankle issues worse.
LjubljanaAges 18–45 - NCT07271771RecruitingPhase 4
Denosumab for muscle and insulin in diabetes
This study tests whether denosumab, a medication that strengthens bones, can also improve muscle strength and insulin sensitivity in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes who take metformin.
AarhusAges 40 years+ - NCT07272837Recruiting
How semaglutide affects heart and muscle mass
This study looks at how semaglutide (Ozempic or Wegovy) changes heart muscle and body muscle. It may help people with type 2 diabetes or those taking the drug for weight loss understand if their heart is affected.

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.
