Birth control vs. natural cycle: muscle response to exercise
This study compares how muscle protein responds to resistance exercise in women who use birth control pills versus those with natural menstrual cycles. Participants will do exercise sessions and have muscle samples taken to see how their bodies build protein.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–40 - NCT07246109Enrolling by invitation
Knee Brace and Muscle Training for Osteoarthritis
This study tests whether wearing a knee brace and doing muscle training exercises can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better and move more easily. It may be a good option if you have not had knee surgery and are not already in another treatment program.
TaichungAges 55 years+ - NCT06573749Recruiting
Milk fat globule membrane supplement for muscle function
This trial tests whether a supplement made from milk fat globule membrane can improve muscle function in healthy adults who are recreationally active. You'll take the supplement daily for 12 weeks and have your muscle function measured.
Loughborough, LeicestershireAges 18–75 - NCT06493552RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing sEphB4-HSA in EphrinB2-high bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug called sEphB4-HSA for people with a specific type of bladder cancer (urothelial carcinoma) that has high levels of a protein called EphrinB2. The study aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors or prevent them from growing, and it compares it to standard treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07238465RecruitingPhase 3
Nervous system and heart function in Down syndrome
This study looks at how the nervous system controls heart rate and blood pressure in adults with Down syndrome. It involves some simple tests, like blood draws and placing a small tube in an arm vein, plus possibly some cold water or exercise tasks.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–50 - NCT07234968Recruiting
Stent vs no stent after bladder removal surgery
This study looks at whether leaving a small tube (ureteral stent) in place after bladder removal helps recovery. It compares people who get a stent to those who don't, focusing on problems like leaks or infections after surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT07237087Recruiting
Heat and percussion therapy for jaw muscle stiffness

Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–76 - NCT07228936Recruiting
Pectoralis minor tightness and rotator cuff tears
This trial looks at whether tightness in a small chest muscle (pectoralis minor) is linked to rotator cuff tears. If you have a partial rotator cuff tear or a healthy shoulder, you might be able to join to help answer this question.

Exercise to prevent muscle loss with GLP-1 medication
This study looks at whether exercise can help prevent muscle loss in people taking GLP-1 medications (like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro) for weight loss. It may help you keep your muscles strong while you lose weight.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–99 - NCT07225803Recruiting

Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT07225127Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment: therapy vs. surgery
This study compares two standard treatments for high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has come back after initial treatment: medication placed directly into the bladder (intravesical therapy) or bladder removal surgery (cystectomy). The goal is to see which option works better for patients like you.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06573086Recruiting

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.
