Recruiting studies
- NCT01900132Recruiting
Electrical muscle testing for neuromuscular disorders
This study uses a quick, painless electrical test to measure muscle health in people with nerve or muscle disorders and in healthy volunteers. It aims to learn how these measurements change over time, which may help diagnose and monitor these conditions better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–110 - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.

MRI scan study of heart muscle chemistry
This trial uses a special MRI scan to look at how the heart muscle uses fuel. It may help researchers understand heart conditions like dilated cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease, especially in people with reduced heart pumping.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01166854Recruiting
Study of muscle and bone conditions in families
This study looks at how certain muscle and bone diseases show up in people and in their family members. It may help researchers better describe these conditions and improve future diagnosis and care.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01266577Recruiting
MRI study measuring brain and muscle chemical levels
This study uses MRI techniques to measure natural chemical “metabolites” in the brain and muscle. You may be able to join if you’re generally healthy and can safely complete a long MRI scan.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07749924Recruiting
Watchful waiting vs. bladder chemotherapy for intermediate-risk bladder cancer
This study compares two approaches for people with intermediate-risk bladder cancer whose urine shows no signs of cancer after surgery. One group will be watched closely (active surveillance), while the other will receive chemotherapy directly into the bladder (intravesical chemotherapy). The goal is to see if surveillance alone can prevent unnecessary treatment while keeping the cancer controlled.
DaqingAges 18 years+ - NCT07506499Recruiting
Cardiac Rehab for Hospitalized Heart Failure Patients

Study of HB05P for muscle health in older adults
This study tests a food product called HB05P to see if it can help improve muscle strength and physical function in people with low muscle mass. It includes a supervised exercise program and may help you maintain independence as you age.
YangsanAges 50–79 - NCT07754500Recruiting
Light imaging to look at healthy tissue
This study tests a new special camera that shines a safe light on the skin to take detailed pictures of tissue, like the breast, without surgery. It aims to see how well this technique works in healthy people, which could help doctors in the future.
Malmö, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07724522Recruiting
Prebiotic Fiber for Irregular Periods in Women
This study tests whether taking a prebiotic fiber (inulin) can help women who are in the later years of their reproductive life (before menopause) and have irregular periods. You may be eligible if you are overweight, have irregular cycles, sit a lot, and do not exercise much.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 40–55 - NCT07672106Recruiting
Predicting breathing tube need after major surgery recovery
This study watches patients after major surgery to see which factors may increase the chance of needing a breathing tube again. It helps doctors better predict and prevent breathing problems in the intensive care unit.
Istanbul, ŞişliAges 18 years+ - NCT07760597Recruiting
Exercise frequency for muscle growth in young adults
This study compares exercising two times per week versus ten times per week for 10 weeks to see which helps build bigger, stronger muscles. Participation requires 10 weeks of supervised training sessions plus one week of testing before and after.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19–39 - NCT07765173Recruiting
Muscle function after ACL reconstruction in active people
This study looks at how well your thigh muscles work after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to understand muscle power recovery in active people, which could help improve rehabilitation programs.
Challes-les-EauxAges 18–65 - NCT07766720Recruiting
Eggshell membrane and turmeric supplements for exercise recovery
This trial tests whether taking eggshell membrane, curcumin (turmeric), or both together can help your muscles recover faster after intense exercise. It may reduce soreness and help you bounce back sooner.

Comparing empagliflozin and metformin for muscle health in type 2 diabetes
This study tests two diabetes medications, empagliflozin and metformin, to see how they affect muscle energy use and blood flow in men with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Participants will be followed at a diabetes clinic.
LjubljanaAges 18–75 - NCT07760142Recruiting
Electrical stimulation with core exercise for chronic low back pain
This study tests whether adding electrical stimulation to a core exercise program helps relieve chronic low back pain. You would attend two sessions a week for six weeks.
ŞırnakAges 18–55 - NCT07780513Recruiting
Genetics of muscle insulin resistance study
This study looks at how genes affect the way muscles use sugar, which can help understand insulin resistance. Participants will have tests and procedures, including a glucose drink test and a muscle biopsy, to see how their bodies handle sugar.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07741227Recruiting
Electric acupuncture for chronic neck pain
This study tests whether electric acupuncture can reduce stiffness and pain in the neck muscles. It may be a treatment option if you have had neck pain for at least 3 months and would like to try a non-drug approach.
Hong KongAges 18–65 - NCT07654946Recruiting
Taurine supplement and muscle endurance in healthy adults
This study tests whether taking a taurine supplement can help your muscles work longer before getting tired. Researchers will use a light sensor on your leg to see how muscles use oxygen.

Comparing two muscle-release therapies for low back pain
This study compares two types of gentle muscle-release techniques—post-isometric relaxation and myofascial release—to see which better relieves low back pain caused by lower cross syndrome, a common muscle imbalance. If you have ongoing back pain and tight hamstrings, this trial may offer a drug-free treatment option.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,106 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.
