This trial tests if electrical stimulation can help people with COPD strengthen both their breathing and leg muscles. It may improve your ability to move and breathe more easily.
DokkiAges 40–65 - NCT06672497Recruiting
Testing a light sensor for muscle health in breast and gynecological cancer patients
This study uses a safe, non-invasive light sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure how well your muscles use oxygen. Researchers want to learn if this tool can help monitor muscle health in people with breast or gynecological cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 20 years+ - NCT06674785Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for shoulder spasticity after stroke
This trial tests if shock wave therapy can reduce shoulder stiffness caused by a stroke. It may help improve shoulder movement and daily comfort.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06676345Recruiting
Heart Attack Complications Study
This study looks at people who have had a heart attack and developed a related structural problem in the heart (like a tear or valve issue). It aims to learn more about these complications to improve future care.
VareseAges 18 years+ - NCT06676332Recruiting
Training to improve movement and coordination in children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests whether a special training that combines mental imagery and sensory activities can improve muscle strength and coordination in children who have tight muscles in their legs. It is for children who can walk on their own or with some help.
CairoAges 8–12 - NCT06685666Recruiting
Band exercises for better shooting in handball
This study tests if adding band exercises to the warm-up routine can improve shooting accuracy and the health of arm muscles in young female handball players.
Istanbul, MaltepeAges 12–18 - NCT06687343Recruiting
Do amino acids help maintain muscle in young men?
This study looks at how certain amino acids (building blocks of protein) help maintain muscle mass. Healthy young men eat a special diet and have their muscle protein production measured to see if non-essential amino acids matter for keeping muscles strong.
MaastrichtAges 18–35 - NCT06687564Recruiting
Study of ACTG2 gene changes in children with intestinal blockage
This study looks at how changes (mutations) in a gene called ACTG2 affect the muscles that move food through the gut in children and adults with a rare condition called pediatric intestinal pseudo-obstruction (PIPO). It may help researchers understand the condition better and find new ways to help patients.
MontpellierAges 4 years+ - NCT06689618Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation exercise study for older adults
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise helps improve nerve signals to muscles in older adults. It compares older participants (65+) with younger ones (18-39) to see how this type of exercise affects muscle activation.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06691204Recruiting
Comparing thumb and pinky for muscle monitoring during surgery
This trial compares two places on the hand—the thumb base and the pinky base—to see which is better for monitoring muscle relaxation during surgery. Participants will have their muscle response measured with a gentle electrical test (electromyography) while receiving a standard muscle relaxant (rocuronium).
Debrecen, Hajdú-BiharAges 18 years+ - NCT06691490Recruiting
Brain activity and daily physical activity study
This study looks at how your brain's perception of effort is linked to how much physical activity you do. It uses EEG (a cap that records brain waves) and fMRI (an MRI that shows brain activity) to understand this connection.
La TroncheAges Any age - NCT06696794RecruitingPhase 3
Testing mitomycin before surgery for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests whether giving mitomycin directly into the bladder before surgery can help people with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective at preventing cancer from coming back.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06704191RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

This trial tests if you can receive chemotherapy for bladder cancer at home instead of in the clinic. It is for people with early-stage bladder cancer who are already getting certain types of intravesical (inside the bladder) treatment.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04695600RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07325305Recruiting
Exercise to protect muscle in childhood leukemia
This trial tests whether starting physical activity and exercise early in treatment can help children with leukemia prevent muscle loss and reduce frailty. It involves wearing a Fitbit to track activity and may help kids stay stronger during and after treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,157 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.
