Recruiting studies
- NCT07124442Recruiting
Muscle function study for ICU patients
This study looks at muscle function and disease severity in people who have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 48 hours. It aims to understand how muscle problems relate to recovery and risk, without requiring a breathing machine.

A new tool to predict infection in newborns
This study tests a simple non-invasive score that uses blood flow in muscles to predict if a newborn has or will develop high inflammation levels (C-reactive protein). It may help doctors start treatment earlier in babies with breathing problems.
Graz, StyriaAges birth–6 hours - NCT07113405Recruiting
Tea extract and knee strength after downhill jogging
This study tests whether taking a tea extract can help your knee muscles recover faster after a downhill jog. It compares the tea to a placebo to see if it reduces muscle soreness or weakness.
Fribourg, Canton of FribourgAges 18–40 - NCT07109739Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for blood pressure

Balance and Botox for Stiff Knee Gait
This study tests whether botulinum toxin (Botox) injections into the rectus femoris thigh muscle can improve balance and walking in people with a stiff knee gait (a common problem after stroke, brain injury, or multiple sclerosis).

Shorter radiation for bladder cancer with chemo
This trial tests if a shorter course of radiation therapy works as well as the usual longer course for people with bladder cancer who are also receiving standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if shorter treatment can reduce side effects while still being effective.
Fort Smith, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07104292Recruiting
Pelvic floor training during pregnancy
This study tests whether a smartphone-based pelvic floor muscle training program during pregnancy can help strengthen the muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and bowel. It may help prevent or reduce problems like leaking urine after childbirth.
Aabenraa, Southern DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT07102667Enrolling by invitation
Protein intake for muscle health in older kidney patients
This study tests how much protein older adults with kidney disease and muscle loss should eat to build or maintain muscle. You will follow a protein plan and do simple resistance exercises to see if it helps your strength.
BangkokAges 65 years+ - NCT07104942Recruiting
Breathing muscle strength in bronchiectasis
This trial tests whether a breathing muscle exercise can help people with bronchiectasis breathe easier. It looks at how the exercise affects your ability to cough and clear mucus.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07095725Recruiting
Effect of Period Pain on Muscle Activity in Young Women
This trial studies how primary dysmenorrhea (period pain) affects muscle activity in young women aged 18-25. It may help understand why period pain happens and guide future treatments.
GizaAges 18–25 - NCT07101939RecruitingPhase 2
Studying a medicine to preserve muscle during weight loss
This trial tests a new medicine, (S)-pindolol benzoate, given along with semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy). The goal is to see if it helps people lose mostly fat instead of muscle while on a weight loss program.
BelgradeAges 18–75 - NCT06546605Recruiting
Training methods for university athletes' performance and health
This study compares different training methods to see which best improves health and performance for university athletes. It uses whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (WB-EMS) as part of the training.
MacaoAges 18–30 - NCT07090057Recruiting
Targeting the plantaris muscle in ankle surgery for children
This study tests if removing the plantaris muscle during surgery improves ankle movement in children with tight heel cords. It aims to see if this extra step leads to better outcomes.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 4–17 - NCT07093229Enrolling by invitation
Gait analysis for knee arthritis in seniors
This trial studies how walking patterns change in people over 65 with long-term knee osteoarthritis. It aims to understand gait to improve treatment and rehabilitation plans.
CraiovaAges 65–80 - NCT07091500Recruiting
Exercise and a weight-loss drug for people with obesity
This trial tests whether combining a GLP-1 medication (a type of diabetes drug that also helps with weight loss) with an exercise program can improve physical function in people with obesity. If you are obese and have trouble with daily activities, this study may help you become more mobile and healthier.
St Louis, MissouriAges 50–75 - NCT07094334Recruiting
Training on balance and fatigue using mental imagery
This trial tests if a single session of watching and imagining arm movements can improve balance and reduce fatigue in healthy young men.
AnkaraAges 18–25 - NCT06975202Recruiting
Trunk Muscle Activation in Pain-Free Adults
This study checks how reliably trunk muscle activity can be measured in healthy people. It helps researchers understand normal muscle function without pain.
GhentAges 18–65 - NCT07082309Recruiting
How ketone drinks affect muscle protein in healthy adults
This trial tests whether a ketone monoester drink can change how your body builds muscle protein. It may help researchers understand if these supplements could benefit muscle health.
Exeter, DevonAges 18–40 - NCT06981013Recruiting
Weighted Torso Study for Balance in MS
This study tests if adding weight to your torso affects how your muscles work during balance tests. It may help researchers understand how to improve balance for people with MS.
Saint Augustine, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT07065383Recruiting
Testing a drug and exercise for heart and muscle fat in diabetes
This study tests if a weekly injection (semaglutide) combined with an exercise program can help reduce fat stored in the heart and muscles in people with type 2 diabetes. It may improve how well your body handles sugar and lowers your risk for heart problems.
Aberdeen, AberdeenshireAges 20–75 - NCT02842424RecruitingPhase 4
Ramipril for walking pain from blocked leg arteries
This study tests whether ramipril (a blood-pressure medicine) can improve leg muscle problems linked to poor blood flow in people with chronic claudication—pain that limits walking. It’s mainly looking at changes related to oxidative stress and muscle scarring (fibrosis).
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18–90 - NCT04987814Recruiting
Testing a skin-sensor scan to detect muscle loss
This study uses a high-detail sensor placed on the skin to look for signs of sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss. The goal is to see whether the scan can help diagnose sarcopenia more accurately.
Ivry-sur-SeineAges 75 years+ - NCT07062731Recruiting
Pelvic Floor Exercises After Childbirth Tear
This study tests whether a specific, guided pelvic floor exercise program can help women who had a serious tear during childbirth improve their pelvic floor muscle strength. It's for women who had that kind of tear in the past year and haven't yet been taught pelvic floor exercises by a specialist.

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.
