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 - NCT07104292Recruiting

Aabenraa, Southern DenmarkAges 18 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 - NCT07109739Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for blood pressure
This study tests if doing daily breathing exercises with a device can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel health. It's for people with higher-than-normal blood pressure who are otherwise healthy.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07109856Recruiting
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 - 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.
Istanbul, EsenyurtAges 18 years+ - NCT07130578Recruiting
Urine DNA test to guide second bladder cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether a urine test for tumor DNA/RNA can help guide the decision for a second surgery in people with high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to see if the urine test can predict who needs the second surgery, potentially avoiding unnecessary procedures.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07134673Recruiting
Long COVID and cell energy study
This study looks at how cells make energy in people with Long COVID compared to people who fully recovered. It involves a blood draw, a small muscle sample, and a skin biopsy to understand why symptoms last.
Jette, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT07135232Recruiting
Strength training and plant supplement for menopause symptoms
This 6-month study tests if strength training plus a plant-based supplement can help with perimenopause symptoms and muscle health. It's for women ages 40-55 who are not on hormone therapy and not already doing heavy resistance training.
Leeds, North HumbersideAges 40–55 - NCT07135765Recruiting
MRI muscle study for scoliosis in children
This study uses high-resolution MRI to look at back muscles in children with scoliosis (a curved spine). It may help doctors understand muscle differences between types of scoliosis.
GarchesAges 10–17 - NCT07136844Recruiting
Walking and arm movement study for nerve and muscle conditions
This study uses motion analysis to understand walking and arm function in adults with certain neurological or metabolic diseases. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors better manage these conditions.
LiègeAges 18 years+ - NCT07138807Recruiting
Neck exercises for female nurses with neck pain
This study compares two types of neck exercises to see which works better for reducing neck pain and disability in female nurses. You may be able to join if you are a nurse with moderate neck pain and a tender spot in your upper back muscle, and haven't had treatment for it in the past month.
Faisalabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–30 - NCT07138963Recruiting
Gene study in children with congenital muscle weakness
This study looks at how genes affect symptoms in children with congenital myopathies or congenital muscular dystrophies. It may help doctors better understand these conditions.
CairoAges 1–18 - NCT07143695Recruiting
Chest muscle ultrasound to guide breathing machine weaning
This study uses an ultrasound to measure how well a chest muscle moves when you try to breathe on your own. It may help doctors decide if you are ready to come off the breathing machine.
Cairo, Giza GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT07145086RecruitingPhase 3
Vibration therapy for voice problems
This trial tests if gentle vibration applied to the neck can help people with voice problems caused by muscle strain (hyperfunctional dysphonia). If you have a strained voice without vocal cord lesions and may benefit from voice therapy, this study could help you.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07164846Recruiting
FES suit for recovery after injury or amputation
This trial tests a special suit that uses mild electrical stimulation to help improve muscle strength, walking, and body functions. It may help people who are at least one week past an amputation or a nervous system injury like stroke or spinal cord injury.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07166198Recruiting
Stopping age-related muscle weakness in women during inactivity
This study tests if a gentle hand exercise or a noninvasive brain stimulation can prevent muscle weakness in middle-aged women when they limit arm use for a period. It may help protect your strength and nerve function during recovery or downtime.
Manhattan, KansasAges 40–65 - NCT07176988Recruiting
Voice therapy study for certain voice problems
This study tests a behavioral voice therapy approach for people with voice issues caused by muscle tension or benign vocal fold lesions. It aims to improve communication and requires participants to attend sessions and practice with a smartphone.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 16–65 - NCT07180212Recruiting
Urine DNA Test to Guide Cystoscopy in High-Risk Bladder Cancer
This trial tests a urine test that looks for tumor DNA to help doctors decide when you need a cystoscopy (a scope in the bladder). It is for people with high-risk or very high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who have already had surgery to remove all visible tumors.
Xingtai, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07181447Recruiting
Light test for muscle-based pelvic pain
This study uses a light device on the skin to detect muscle trigger points in women with long-term pelvic pain. The goal is to see if near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can help diagnose myofascial pelvic pain more easily.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07196332Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,153 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.
