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+ - NCT06677216Enrolling by invitation
Botox for jaw muscle pain study
This study tests if Botox injections can reduce pain in the jaw muscles caused by a jaw joint disorder (TMD). If you have this type of pain and are interested in Botox treatment, you may be able to join.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06670443Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for COPD breathing and leg muscles
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 - NCT06663137RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new treatment for high-grade bladder cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called NDV01 KIT for people with high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that hasn't gotten better after BCG therapy. It's for those who cannot or choose not to have their bladder removed.
RaananaAges 18–80 - NCT06645847Recruiting
Ketone drink for walking and strength in older adults
This study tests whether a special ketone drink can help older adults who are starting to feel frail (slower walking, less energy). You would be assigned to one of several groups, and researchers will check if the drink improves your strength and daily function.
Novato, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT06645470Recruiting
Muscle and movement study for weight loss medications
This study looks at how anti-obesity medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) affect your muscles and movement. It may help researchers understand how to combine these drugs with exercise for better health.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06637423RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of sacituzumab tirumotecan for low-grade bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug called sacituzumab tirumotecan for people with low-grade bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the bladder muscle. The goal is to see if it can help shrink or control the tumors.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06636045Enrolling by invitation
Blood flow restriction after ACL surgery with quad graft
This study tests whether using a special blood flow restriction cuff after ACL surgery helps you recover faster and stronger. It is for people having ACL reconstruction using their own quadriceps tendon for the first time.
Kansas City, KansasAges 14–40 - NCT06633380Recruiting
Different physical activity strategies for breast cancer survivors
This study tests different ways to add physical activity into your daily routine to help manage side effects from breast cancer treatment. The goal is to see if simple, practical strategies can improve your health and well-being while you are on aromatase inhibitors.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06151626Recruiting
Rhythm-based therapy for older adults' memory and movement
This study tests a new therapy that combines rhythm and movement to help improve thinking and physical function in healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment. It compares their results with younger adults to see if the therapy works across different ages.
TainanAges 18–85 - NCT05194137Recruiting
Training pelvic floor muscle with biofeedback or exam guidance
This study compares two ways to help women learn how to tighten the pelvic floor muscles. It may help women with pelvic floor problems and urinary leaking by improving muscle control using either biofeedback or clinician guidance.
Ribeirão Preto, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06631872Recruiting
Surgery school prehabilitation via telehealth for lung or abdominal cancer
This trial tests a telehealth program to help you get ready (prehab) before lung or major abdominal cancer surgery. It aims to improve your recovery and might be easier than attending in person.

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.
