This trial tests whether a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower, and kale) can help prevent bladder cancer from coming back or getting worse. It is for people with early-stage, non-invasive bladder cancer who live in New York State.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06689891Recruiting
Pelvic floor therapy with videos

New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06681740Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for heart disease patients
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program can help people who have had a heart attack and a procedure to open blocked heart arteries. The exercises strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may improve your recovery and quality of life.
MálagaAges 18–80 - NCT06631053Recruiting
Exercise program for 30 days of leg muscle disuse
This study looks at how a specific exercise program affects your muscles after a period of not using them (simulated by a leg brace). You'll wear a brace on one leg for 30 days and do certain exercises to see if they help prevent muscle loss.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 35–45 - NCT06611618Recruiting
Predicting fall risk in knee osteoarthritis using muscle tests
This study looks at how loss of muscle strength and control in people with knee osteoarthritis can predict falls. It uses tests and MRI to understand your risk, with the goal of helping prevent future falls.
BolognaAges 65–80 - NCT06503614RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus monalizumab for non-invasive bladder cancer
This study tests two immunotherapy drugs (durvalumab and monalizumab) in people with a type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the deep muscle layer. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer and prevent it from coming back, possibly avoiding the need for bladder removal.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06396533Recruiting
Improving cancer staging before bladder removal surgery
This trial tests if adding a special CT scan before bladder removal helps find muscle-invasive bladder cancer earlier. It includes people with different stages of bladder cancer who are planning to have their bladder removed.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT05746650Recruiting
Study to improve healing after knee muscle-tendon repair
This study looks at how to improve healing at the muscle-tendon connection after knee reconstruction surgery. You may be able to join if you’re otherwise healthy, within a certain body-size range, and not using medicines that could change muscle or tendon healing.
CopenhagenAges 18–35 - NCT06286553Recruiting
Ab muscle repair after childbirth: breathing and core training
This study tests if a program of trunk and breathing exercises can help close the gap in abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that sometimes happens after pregnancy. It is for women who are at least 6 months postpartum and have a muscle separation larger than 2.8 cm.
PátraiAges 18–50 - NCT05919940Recruiting
Testing a muscle stimulation and extra protein plan in ICU patients
This trial tests whether electrical muscle stimulation plus extra protein (protein substitute) can improve muscle health and metabolism in critically ill adults in the ICU. If you’re newly admitted and expected to stay on a breathing machine for several days, it may help you keep more muscle strength during recovery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05833867RecruitingPhase 1
Bladder cancer trial combining radiation and Sacituzumab
This Phase 1 study tests whether a new bladder-cancer treatment plan—radiation given at the same time as sacituzumab govitecan—can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer without starting with traditional chemo/radiation. Because it’s early-stage, the main goal is safety and learning the best way to use this combination to preserve the bladder.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05521698RecruitingPhase 1
Bicalutamide for early-stage bladder cancer
This trial tests whether the drug bicalutamide can help men with early-stage (non-invasive) bladder cancer, which has not grown into the bladder muscle. It is given before surgery to see if it can reduce the chance of the cancer coming back. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive bicalutamide or a placebo before their scheduled surgery.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05381818Recruiting
Breathing muscle training before joint surgery
This trial tests whether strengthening breathing muscles before total joint surgery can lower the chance of lung complications after the operation. It may help people who already have breathing problems or a history of smoking.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT05345015Recruiting
Radio waves for muscle or low back pain and function
This trial tests whether a high-frequency radio-wave treatment can reduce pain and improve movement in adults with a muscle strain (hamstring) or acute or chronic low back pain. It may help you feel less pain and function better, depending on your specific injury and medical details.
KavalaAges 18–65 - NCT05315726Recruiting
Vibration therapy to reduce stiffness after stroke
This trial studies whether regular muscle vibration can reduce post-stroke muscle stiffness and improve how the brain and nerves adapt. If you’re in the right stage after stroke, it may help improve arm and hand movement.
Chalon-sur-SaôneAges 18 years+ - NCT04344262Recruiting
Testing a small dose muscle relaxant during general anesthesia
This trial studies whether a small dose of a muscle-relaxing medicine works safely for people having surgery under general anesthesia. You might be a candidate if you fit the age and surgical setup, and you don’t have certain health problems or medication issues.
Al MansurahAges 20–50 - NCT07875075Recruiting
Core muscle and balance study for lower limb amputees
This study looks at how core muscle function and balance work in people with a single leg amputation who use a prosthesis. It aims to understand how these factors affect daily activities and may help improve rehabilitation.
Balçova, İzmirAges 20–60 - NCT07594444Recruiting
Whey Protein and Adaptogenic Supplements for Active Women
This study tests whether whey protein combined with adaptogenic herbs (natural stress-reducing supplements) can improve athletic performance and recovery in physically active women. You'll take supplements for several weeks while maintaining your normal training routine, and researchers will measure changes in your strength and fitness.
Brighton, East SussexAges 18–45 - NCT02423395RecruitingPhase 3
Orphenadrine for muscle cramps in people with cirrhosis
This trial tests whether orphenadrine (a medication used to reduce muscle cramping) can lessen muscle cramps in people who have cirrhosis of the liver. It may help if your cramps happen often, but you must avoid certain medication conflicts and health situations.
TantaAges Any age - NCT05307367Recruiting
Study exercise and body muscle changes in advanced lung cancer
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.

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.
