This trial uses a new technology called spatial transcriptomics to study how bladder cancer tumors respond to chemotherapy before surgery. It aims to find patterns that predict which patients will benefit from treatment.
SeoulAges 18–80 - NCT05676827Enrolling by invitation
Study pain and stress in people with long-term jaw muscle pain
This trial looks at how long-lasting jaw (masticatory) muscle pain relates to the nervous system and emotional stress. It may help researchers understand why symptoms persist and guide future treatments.
WroclawAges 18–80 - NCT03752034Recruiting
Muscle fragments after rotator cuff surgery to improve shoulder function
This study looks at whether using “muscle fiber fragments” during/after rotator cuff repair can help your shoulder work better. It targets people with a small tear in one shoulder who can follow the post-surgery follow-up plan.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 40–80 - NCT05635175Recruiting
Hip abductor training for women with stress urine leakage
This trial tests whether specific hip muscle exercises can reduce stress urinary incontinence (urine leaks with activities like coughing or exercise). If it works, it could improve bladder control using perineal (pelvic-area) rehabilitation plus hip-focused training.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT05203913RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder cancer trial adds chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation after surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding chemotherapy and immunotherapy along with targeted pelvic radiation after bladder tumor surgery can reduce bladder cancer returning or spreading. It focuses on people with non-metastatic, muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT04724928RecruitingPhase 2
PET-CT scan to guide bladder cancer treatment decisions
This Phase 2 study checks whether an FDG PET-CT scan can help doctors better predict bladder cancer risk and adjust treatment. You may still get standard bladder cancer care, but the study uses the scan results to help decide how aggressive treatment should be.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT06812611Recruiting
High intensity laser therapy for muscle injuries
This trial tests if high intensity laser therapy helps heal severe muscle tears in the leg. If you have a recent, serious muscle tear from sports, this treatment might speed up your recovery.
BariAges 16 years+ - NCT03225677Recruiting
Testing a new scan to study muscle breakdown in cirrhosis
This study looks at how your body uses protein in your muscles when you have cirrhosis (a scarred liver). It uses a special “tracer” method (a substance that can be tracked) and may help researchers better understand muscle loss in people with milder cirrhosis.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06257017RecruitingPhase 2
Using DNA tests to guide chemotherapy after bladder cancer surgery
This trial checks if a DNA blood test can help decide who needs extra chemo after bladder or upper urinary tract cancer surgery. It tests whether watching for cancer DNA in the blood can match patients to the right treatment.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT06766266RecruitingPhase 1
Irinotecan and Epirubicin for recurring bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (irinotecan and epirubicin) for people whose bladder cancer has come back after prior treatment with a similar drug. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
ChongqingAges 18 years+ - NCT06706492Recruiting
Muscle oxygen and frailty in kidney transplant patients
This study looks at how well muscles use oxygen and how frailty affects kidney transplant recipients, especially those with weak breathing muscles. It may help understand why some patients feel more tired or weak after transplant.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07523672Enrolling by invitation
Care Model for Sarcopenic Obesity in Older Adults
This trial tests a new care approach for older adults who have both excess body fat and muscle loss (sarcopenic obesity). The goal is to help improve muscle strength, physical function, and body composition.
Nakhon Nayok, Changwat Nakhon NayokAges 60 years+ - NCT07538830Recruiting
Probiotic supplement for muscle strength in older adults
This study tests whether a specific probiotic (a beneficial bacteria called Lactiplantibacillus plantarum) can help improve muscle strength and physical function in adults aged 50–84. The probiotic may work by improving gut health, which could support muscle health.
BusanAges 50–85 - NCT07552441Recruiting
Mouth Muscle Pressure and Upper Jaw Width Study
This study examines how the muscles around your mouth affect the width of your upper jaw. Researchers will measure the pressure your mouth muscles create to better understand jaw development and may help improve orthodontic treatment in the future.
Van, VanAges 12–25 - NCT07715201Recruiting
