Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 65–85 - NCT05884138Recruiting
Amino acid supplement and exercise for people on dialysis
This trial studies whether taking essential amino acids along with exercise can improve muscle function in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help you build or maintain strength and mobility.
Daejeon, South KoreaAges 20–80 - NCT05887440Recruiting
Isokinetic strength training for knee control after stroke
This trial studies whether a special strength-training program that uses an “isokinetic” machine can improve walking and knee control in people after stroke. It is for people who have noticeable knee movement during walking and can safely take part in rehab.
RennesAges 18–75 - NCT05903001Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing to help track lung disease
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05913882Recruiting
Breathing training for people with ALS to improve cough
This study tests a breathing and expiratory muscle training program to help people with ALS cough more effectively. It may help reduce breathing and airway trouble by strengthening the muscles used for cough in early-stage ALS.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT05926219Recruiting
Study C-protein changes with fatigue and aging
This study looks at how a blood protein called C-protein relates to fatigue and aging, and how exercise affects it. You may be able to join if you’re otherwise healthy and willing to do muscle testing and activity monitoring.
Eugene, OregonAges 18–80 - NCT05945043Recruiting
Study breathing signals during fluid drain in pleural effusion
This trial looks at how a breathing control system (called neural respiratory drive) changes when doctors remove lung lining fluid using a thoracocentesis, chest drain, or an indwelling pleural catheter. It may help improve how safe breathing measurements are taken during these common procedures.
London, LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05945212Recruiting
Vibration therapy to help leg recovery after subacute stroke
This study tests whether a program using local vibrations on the muscles in the front of your ankle can improve leg nerve and movement recovery after stroke. It may help people who have weak ankle lifting during the weeks to months after stroke.
Le Chambon-FeugerollesAges 18–80 - NCT05970562RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Voice therapy plus biofeedback for vocal overuse problems
This early-phase study tests a mix of voice therapy and “biofeedback” (real-time feedback to help you change how you use your voice) for people with vocal overuse symptoms. It may help improve voice quality by targeting muscle tension and strain that happen when the voice is overworked.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT05982561Recruiting
Testing a urine test for bladder cancer recurrence
This trial tests a new urine test (BCDx) to see if it can catch bladder cancer coming back in people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are already having regular check-ups. You would give a urine sample before your routine cystoscopy, and the results may help doctors monitor your cancer more easily.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05985525Recruiting
Monitoring blood flow in ICU patients with severe infection or shock
This study monitors tiny blood vessels under the tongue using a non-invasive device to see how well blood flows in ICU patients on a breathing machine. Researchers hope to improve care for patients with serious infections or shock.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT06009276Recruiting
Gut bacteria, muscle blood flow, and fitness study
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut affect blood flow to your muscles and your overall fitness. You will provide samples and do some exercise tests to help researchers understand this link.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06009263Recruiting
Exercises for chronic low back pain
This study compares two types of exercises to see which one better strengthens a key lower back muscle. It may help if you have ongoing back pain.
Giza, DokkiAges 25–55 - NCT06041880Recruiting
Calf Stretching for Better Walking in PAD
This study tests whether a simple daily calf-stretching routine can improve walking ability and blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease. It offers a non-drug, non-surgical approach that you can do at home.
University Park, PennsylvaniaAges 40–85 - NCT06044168Recruiting
Nutritional supplement for muscle growth in cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a nutritional supplement can help build muscle in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It may be a good fit if you have trouble with walking and have not had certain treatments recently.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 4–10 - NCT06050668RecruitingPhase 2
Amino acid supplement study for broken hip in older adults
This study tests whether giving extra essential amino acids (building blocks of protein) to older adults hospitalized with a broken femur (thigh bone) can improve their recovery. If you are 65 or older, broke your femur from a simple fall, and are having surgery to fix it, you may be able to join.
Iowa City, IowaAges 65 years+ - NCT06053229Recruiting
Massage therapy for leg muscle health during immobilization
This trial examines if percussive massage can help maintain leg muscle mass and strength when your leg is immobilized (e.g., in a cast). It aims to see if this therapy could reduce muscle loss during periods of disuse.
Provo, UtahAges 18–50 - NCT06054516Recruiting
Study of heart metabolism in ischemic heart disease using advanced imaging
This trial uses a special imaging technique (hyperpolarized MRSI) to study metabolism in the heart muscle of people with chronic heart failure caused by ischemic heart disease. It aims to help doctors better understand how the heart uses energy.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 18–90 - NCT06055569Recruiting
Rehabilitation for arm recovery after stroke using observation and muscle stimulation
This trial tests if observing arm movements paired with muscle stimulation helps stroke survivors regain arm function. It may be an option if your stroke affected one arm and you are between two weeks and six months post-stroke.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06070233Recruiting
Radiosurgery for spasticity after stroke or injury
This trial tests a non-invasive radiation treatment (radiosurgery) to reduce severe muscle stiffness (spasticity) that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help people with spasticity caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy.
Winter Park, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT06074822Recruiting
Biobank study for neuromuscular disease samples
This study collects leftover tissue from muscle or nerve biopsies to build a biobank for future research on neuromuscular diseases. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for conditions like yours.
BordeauxAges Any age - NCT06084949Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,155 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.
