BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT05649930Recruiting
Power training for tight calf muscles in children with spastic paresis
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program that strengthens leg muscle power can improve calf muscle length and strength in children with spastic paresis (stiffness from the brain or nerves). If it works, it may help children move more easily and build stronger calves.
AmsterdamAges 4–18 - NCT05689775Recruiting
Robot-assisted reconstruction using tummy muscle flap after surgery
This trial studies a specific way to rebuild the pelvic floor (and sometimes the vagina) after major rectal or anal cancer surgery. It uses robotic surgery and a flap taken from your tummy muscle to help close and reconstruct the area.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05700058Recruiting
Testing how different Super-whey doses affect muscle growth
This study checks how different doses of “Super-whey” influence muscle protein building in adults. It may help figure out the best whey dose for building muscle, especially in older adults.
DerbyAges 65–85 - NCT05700825RecruitingPhase 2
Rehab training to improve swallow safety in Parkinson’s
This trial tests a rehabilitation approach aimed at improving airway protection during swallowing in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help reduce the risk of food or liquid going down the wrong way by improving swallow safety.
West Lafayette, IndianaAges 50–90 - 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 - NCT05708885Recruiting
Testing a tool to change esophagus muscle movement
This study looks at how a device affects how the esophagus muscles squeeze and relax. It may help people better understand swallowing problems, even if their usual esophagus test looks normal.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–90 - NCT05710848RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for repeat bladder tumor surgery patients
This trial tests STM-416, given around the time you have surgery to remove recurring bladder tumors, to see if it can reduce the chance the cancer comes back. It is for people with high-risk early bladder cancer (non–muscle-invasive) who have already had standard treatment and now need another TURBT.
Mesa, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05716880RecruitingPhase 3
Keto-like diet supplements for muscle loss in nephrotic syndrome
This Phase 3 study tests a keto-like supplement (Ketosteril) to help prevent or slow muscle loss in people with nephrotic syndrome. It may help by improving nutrition when the kidneys are leaking large amounts of protein.
Warsaw, Masovian DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT05725928Recruiting
Walking-support program for older hospitalized patients
This study tests whether extra help and guidance to walk while you’re in the hospital can improve health and recovery. It’s for older adults who can safely do some walking after being admitted for a medical problem.
Springfield, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT05739968Recruiting
Active living program for early bladder cancer patients with their own bladder
This trial tests whether a structured “active-living” program (helping you be more active in daily life) improves outcomes for people newly diagnosed with operable early bladder cancer. It may help with overall health and quality of life while you receive standard bladder cancer care without removing your bladder.
TaipeiAges Any age - NCT05740514Recruiting
Exercise program study for adults with type 1 diabetes
This study looks at how an exercise program affects “healthy outcomes” in people with type 1 diabetes. You might be invited if you are the right age, generally less active, and have a safe health profile for exercising.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT05754632Recruiting
Blood flow restriction exercises after ACL surgery in teens
This trial tests whether a special type of exercise that uses a cuff (blood flow restriction training, or BFRT) can help teens recover after ACL reconstruction. It’s designed to see if adding BFRT to standard rehab improves strength and return to sport.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges 12–18 - NCT05767762Recruiting
Tests whether leg muscle patterns predict treatment outcome in clubfoot
This study looks at how certain leg muscles move to see if that can predict how well an Achilles tenotomy (a small procedure to release tight tendon) works for children with idiopathic clubfoot. It may help doctors choose the best timing and approach for treatment.
NiceAges birth–1 year - NCT05780177Recruiting
Brief behavioral therapy for insomnia in PTSD veterans
This trial tests a short, structured behavioral program to help improve sleep problems (insomnia) in veterans who also have posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It may help you fall asleep easier and sleep more consistently while continuing your usual care when it’s stable.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05789433Recruiting
Aerobic exercise study after colon or rectal cancer surgery
This trial studies whether a supervised aerobic exercise program helps muscles “remodel” (change/strengthen) after colon or rectal cancer treatment. It may help people improve physical function during recovery, but you can only join if it’s safe for you and you can follow the study plan.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05809622Recruiting
