Nutritional supplements for muscle health in older adults
This trial tests if taking leucine and omega-3 fatty acids can improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with low muscle health. It looks at people who have lost muscle and strength or walk slowly.
Linkou DistrictAges 50–99 - NCT06999057RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Knee injury study for healthy active adults
This trial studies how your thigh muscle adapts after a simulated knee injury. It uses mild electrical stimulation and a small needle to measure muscle signals, and may help improve recovery after knee injuries.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–30 - NCT07000240Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided pushing training for first-time mothers
This study tests whether using real-time ultrasound to teach pushing techniques can help first-time mothers push more effectively during labor. You may benefit if you are pregnant with one baby and want to learn the best way to push.
Rome, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT07002125Recruiting
Whole body vibration therapy for type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether whole body vibration therapy can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar better. It involves standing on a vibrating platform for short sessions, which may improve muscle function and glucose control without needing exercise.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18 years+ - NCT07004166Recruiting
New injection techniques to reduce pain and leakage
This study tests two different injection methods (TPR and Z-track) to see if they cause less pain and less medication leakage when giving the painkiller diclofenac sodium into the hip muscle.
SivasAges 18–40 - NCT07015216Recruiting
Virtual reality training for COPD patients
This study tests if virtual reality combined with physical and mental tasks can improve muscle oxygen levels in people with COPD. It aims to find a more engaging way to help you exercise and feel better.
IstanbulAges 18–70 - NCT07029698RecruitingPhase 4
Vitamin shot vs. pill for B12 deficiency
This study tests whether a vitamin B12 injection is as safe and effective as a B12 pill. You may be able to join if you have low B12 levels and are not currently taking B12 supplements.
KharkivAges 18 years+ - NCT07030764Recruiting
Comparing rehab with and without a digital app after ACL surgery
This trial tests whether adding a digital therapy app to regular rehabilitation helps reduce thigh muscle weakness after ACL reconstruction. Participants will use the app on their smartphone alongside standard physical therapy.
Lyon, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07032870Recruiting
Ultrasound reliability study in ICU patients
This study checks how reliably different physical therapists can measure muscles and nerves using ultrasound in patients who are awake and stable in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to improve muscle assessment techniques for critically ill adults.

Radiofrequency treatment for menopause symptoms in breast cancer survivors
This trial tests a non-surgical radiofrequency treatment, combined with pelvic floor exercises, to help with vaginal dryness and other menopause symptoms in breast cancer survivors. It may be an option if you are free of cancer and have bothersome vaginal dryness.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–75 - NCT07037537Recruiting
Nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (fat and implant)

Building physical strength after stroke
This study looks at whether a specific exercise program can help people with chronic stroke (more than 6 months ago) who still have some weakness in their leg. It aims to improve walking and overall physical ability.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT07041775Recruiting
MINT video game training to improve walking after stroke
This study tests a new video-game–style training called MINT to help people who have had a stroke walk better. If you have trouble walking because one leg is weaker or slower than the other, this training might help improve your balance and coordination.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT07047300Recruiting
How a heel lift insole affects walking for healthy adults
This study tests whether wearing a heel lift insole changes how your legs and lower back move while walking. It may help understand if such insoles can benefit people with certain conditions, but right now it only includes healthy volunteers.

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.
