Massage and relaxation for period pain relief
This study tests whether connective tissue massage (a hands-on technique) and progressive relaxation exercises can reduce severe menstrual cramps. If you have primary dysmenorrhea—painful periods without an underlying medical cause—this trial may help you find natural pain relief.
DenizliAges 18–30 - NCT07649356Recruiting
Estrogen and Muscle Function in Menopausal Women
This study compares how estrogen affects muscle strength and fitness in women before and after menopause. It aims to understand how hormonal changes during menopause impact physical health and may help researchers develop better support for women during this life stage.
AarhusAges 47 years+ - NCT07652333Recruiting
Strength training for muscle and mind on obesity medication
This study tests whether strength training can help adults taking new obesity medications (like Wegovy or Ozempic) maintain muscle and improve mental health. You would start the medication after your first study visit.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07643558Recruiting
Fish oil and weight training for cancer patients' muscle health
This study tests whether taking fish oil supplements combined with progressive weight training exercises can help preserve or build muscle strength in cancer patients undergoing treatment. The goal is to help you maintain physical function and quality of life during cancer care.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07646145RecruitingPhase 2
Disitamab Vedotin Plus Mitomycin C for HER2-Positive Bladder Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two medications—disitamab vedotin (a targeted therapy) and mitomycin C (a chemotherapy)—for people with early-stage bladder cancer that has a specific protein called HER2. The goal is to prevent cancer from coming back after surgery in people who cannot or will not receive BCG treatment.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT05253326Recruiting
Relaxing muscle exercises after spine surgery
This trial tests whether a structured “progressive muscle relaxation” routine can reduce pain and help recovery after spine surgery. You may be asked to learn and practice the relaxation steps even if you’ve never done them before.
Istanbul, ÜsküdarAges 18 years+ - NCT07630623Enrolling by invitation
Relaxation and grip exercises for pregnant women with preeclampsia
This study tests whether two simple exercises—progressive muscle relaxation (tensing and releasing muscle groups) and finger grip exercises—can help pregnant women with preeclampsia manage stress, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep problems. Preeclampsia is high blood pressure during pregnancy that needs careful monitoring.
Ordu, AltinorduAges 18 years+ - NCT07628387Recruiting
Exercise Types for Restless Legs in Pregnancy
This study compares two types of exercise—aerobic (heart-pumping) and muscle relaxation—to help pregnant women with restless leg syndrome sleep better and feel less tired. Restless leg syndrome causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs, especially at night, which disrupts sleep during pregnancy.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–40 - NCT07627438Recruiting
Pelvic Floor Exercises for Premature Ejaculation
This trial tests whether targeted pelvic floor muscle exercises can help men with lifelong premature ejaculation last longer during intercourse. The study focuses on strengthening the muscles that control ejaculation through physical therapy techniques.
Tanta, TantaAges 18–50 - 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 - NCT06707532Recruiting
Muscle relaxants for safer heart rhythm treatment
This study tests if giving muscle relaxants before a heart ablation procedure can protect muscles from damage. Ablation uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats, and muscle relaxants might make it safer.
Wroclaw, Lower Silesian VoivodeshipAges 18–90 - NCT06108492RecruitingPhase 1
A new bladder cancer drug given directly into the bladder
This study tests a new drug, SHR-2005, given directly into the bladder through a catheter. It is for people with intermediate- or high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle, and aims to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07602010Recruiting
Comparing CT and MRI scans for bladder cancer staging
This trial compares two imaging methods—CT and MRI scans—to see which one better shows how far bladder cancer has spread before surgery. If you have newly diagnosed bladder cancer and are planning surgery, this study may help doctors choose the best imaging for your care.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07595341Enrolling by invitation
Breathing Training for Competitive Swimmers
This study tests whether a special breathing-exercise program can improve how well swimmers' lungs work and their swimming performance. Researchers will teach swimmers techniques to strengthen the muscles used for breathing and measure how it affects their ability to swim.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07602933Recruiting
Light Therapy for Muscle Fatigue from Electrical Stimulation
This study tests whether light therapy can reduce muscle fatigue and damage caused by electrical muscle stimulation. Researchers want to see if this non-invasive light treatment helps muscles recover faster.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–45 - NCT07597850RecruitingPhase 2
TCM formula versus HMB supplement for muscle strength in older adults
This study compares a traditional Chinese medicine formula with HMB (a muscle-building supplement) to see which helps preserve muscle strength and bone health in adults aged 65 and older who are starting to show signs of frailty. Both treatments aim to help you stay stronger and more active as you age.
TaipeiAges 65 years+ - NCT07581587Recruiting
Breathing Exercises and Brain Function in Heart Failure
This study tests whether special breathing exercises—done alone or while doing a mental task—can improve memory and thinking skills in people with heart failure. Researchers want to see if training your breathing muscles helps your brain work better.

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.
