Recruiting studies
- 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.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT01166854Recruiting

Make heart muscle cells from blood or skin in breast cancer
This study grows heart muscle cells from your blood or skin to better understand why some people develop heart problems from HER2 cancer treatments. You may be helping researchers learn how to predict and prevent treatment-related heart damage.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02549157Recruiting
Study of pelvic floor symptoms and patient reports
This study looks at people who come to the hospital with pelvic floor problems and asks about their symptoms directly. It may help researchers better understand these problems and improve care based on what patients report.

Ramipril for walking pain from blocked leg arteries
This study tests whether ramipril (a blood-pressure medicine) can improve leg muscle problems linked to poor blood flow in people with chronic claudication—pain that limits walking. It’s mainly looking at changes related to oxidative stress and muscle scarring (fibrosis).
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18–90 - NCT03209791Recruiting
Study alcohol-related effects on muscle recycling in the liver
This study looks at how alcoholic liver disease may change a natural body clean-up process in muscle. It compares people with alcoholic liver disease to people without it to better understand the biology and identify possible targets for treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT07677033Recruiting
Bone and muscle health study for adults
This study looks at how well your bones and muscles work together. By measuring your bone density and handgrip strength, doctors can better understand your bone health and find ways to keep you strong as you age.

Study of activity and muscle function in children with scoliosis
This study looks at how children’s activity levels and muscle performance change in different scoliosis treatments (surgery, bracing, or healthy peers). It uses motion sensors and an ultrasound-based test to better understand what treatments may do to the body’s muscles.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 9–16 - NCT07400419Recruiting
Resistance exercise for transgender women starting estrogen therapy
This study looks at whether resistance training (like lifting weights) can help transgender women and gender-diverse people assigned male at birth who are starting estrogen and testosterone-blocking medications. It aims to see if exercise improves health and well-being.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07411547Recruiting
Ultrasound for fat buildup in muscles of older adults
This trial uses ultrasound to measure fat inside muscles of hospitalized older adults. It aims to see if this measurement is helpful for assessing health and recovery during rehabilitation.
NantesAges 75 years+ - NCT07413302Recruiting
Predicting recovery after back surgery for leg weakness
This study looks at which factors before surgery help predict how well leg weakness improves after a single-level microdiskectomy (minimally invasive back surgery for a slipped disk). It may help you understand what to expect if you are having this procedure.
KavalaAges 18 years+ - NCT07419607Recruiting
Group therapy with exercise for teens with migraine
This study tests a group therapy program for teens with migraine. The program combines physical activity, muscle relaxation, and education about migraines. It aims to help teens manage their headaches better.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 13–17 - NCT07420517RecruitingPhase 2
Dutasteride for low-grade bladder cancer
This trial tests if the drug dutasteride can help people with a slow-growing type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle wall. It may be an option for those not receiving other standard treatments like BCG therapy or chemotherapy directly into the bladder.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07440875Recruiting
Pelvic floor exercises for mild uterine prolapse
This study compares two types of pelvic floor exercises to see which works better for treating mild uterine prolapse in women who have gone through menopause. It might help you if you have a mild prolapse and want to try non-surgical treatments.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–65 - NCT07445516Recruiting
Bite adjustment for TMD: long-term follow-up
This trial follows up with people who previously had a dental bite adjustment (occlusal equilibration) for TMD (jaw or face muscle/joint pain). It compares their long-term results with a group that received a 'sham' (fake) procedure.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18–85 - NCT07447804Recruiting
Diaphragm and Breathing Strength in Hemiplegia Patients
This study looks at how hemiplegia affects the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and your breathing strength. It aims to help guide rehabilitation after a stroke.
Istanbul, AtaşehirAges 18–80 - NCT07450690Recruiting
Exercise training for muscle function in mitochondrial myopathy
This study tests whether exercise training can improve muscle function in adults with mitochondrial myopathy, a condition that affects how muscles produce energy. Participants will follow an exercise program to see if it helps their muscle strength and daily activities.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07457437Recruiting
Exercise and medication for weight loss in women
This study tests whether adding resistance exercise to a new weight-loss medication helps women preserve muscle while losing weight. It may be an option for women who want to protect their muscle mass during treatment.
Exeter, DevonAges 25–50 - NCT07466290Recruiting
L-serine with strength training for seniors
This trial tests whether taking a supplement called L-serine along with a strength training program can improve muscle strength and function in older adults. It might help you stay strong and independent.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 65–85 - NCT07466888Recruiting
Adjusting electrical stimulation frequency for tongue muscle activity
This trial tests how changing the frequency of gentle electrical pulses to a tongue muscle affects its activity. It may help people with sleep apnea by strengthening the muscle that keeps the airway open during sleep.
Gyeonggi-do, Seongnam-siAges 19 years+ - NCT07474662Recruiting
Online vs. in-person physiotherapy for jaw muscle pain
This trial compares online physiotherapy sessions with face-to-face visits to see which works better for treating jaw muscle pain (myalgia). It aims to find a more convenient way to get care for this common condition.

Immunotherapy guided by urine DNA for high risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy approach for people with a very high risk type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle layer. The treatment is guided by a special urine test that looks for tumor DNA, and it may help if surgery cannot remove all the cancer or you choose not to have your bladder removed.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07475767Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,147 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.
