Light therapy and blood-flow restriction for stroke recovery
This study tests whether combining light therapy with blood-flow restriction exercise (a technique that limits blood flow during gentle movement) helps improve arm strength and reduce muscle stiffness in people recovering from stroke. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–70 - NCT07444736Enrolling by invitation

Strength training for women with higher body fat
This study tests whether a specific type of resistance training (slow, controlled muscle-lengthening exercises) can help women with higher body fat improve how their muscles and nerves work. It might be a good option if you are not currently on birth control and are looking for a nonsurgical, non-medication way to get stronger.
Kepala Batas, Pulau PinangAges 18–45 - NCT07379385Enrolling by invitation

This trial tests a program called BE+ for people who have finished treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if the program is practical and helpful for improving health after treatment.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT06444945Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two hands-on therapies for knee osteoarthritis
This study compares two hands-on therapy techniques (Mulligan and Kaltenborn mobilizations) to see which works better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have mild to moderate knee pain and are between 40 and 70, this trial may help you find a gentler treatment option.
IslamabadAges 40–70 - NCT07320846Recruiting
Exercise and gene activity in rheumatoid arthritis
This trial tests whether exercise training can affect gene activity (lncRNA) in rheumatoid arthritis patients with lung involvement. It may show how exercise helps manage the disease.
Istanbul, TurkeyAges 18–75 - NCT04471506Recruiting
Breathing and walking program for hormonal and tumor markers
This study tests whether a combined program of interval aerobic training (alternate “hard/easy” exercise) and mindfulness breathing can improve hormone, metabolic (body chemistry/energy), and tumor marker measures in women after menopause. If you meet the criteria, you may benefit from structured activity and breathing techniques while researchers track health changes over time.
CairoAges 55–65 - NCT07045064Recruiting
Exercise during dialysis for heart health
This study compares two types of exercise (aerobic vs. resistance training) done during hemodialysis sessions, and looks at how they affect a blood test related to heart disease risk.
Cairo, Select StateAges 40–60 - 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 - NCT07152197Recruiting
Resistance Exercise for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
This trial tests whether resistance exercises (like lifting weights with your legs) can help people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. It is for young adults aged 15 to 29 who can move their ankle enough to do strength training.
Temuco, La AraucaníaAges 15–29 - NCT06606704Recruiting
Strength bands and creatine for healthy older adults
This study tests whether a simple home exercise program using resistance bands, combined with a creatine supplement, can help improve muscle strength and health in older adults who are not already doing regular strength training.
Regina, SaskatchewanAges 50 years+ - NCT06606717Recruiting
Resistance bands and protein supplements for beginners
This trial tests whether using resistance bands and taking protein supplements can help people who are new to strength training. If you don't currently work out with weights, this could be a safe and simple way to start building muscle.
Regina, SaskatchewanAges 50 years+ - NCT05414292Recruiting
Testing rapamycin effect on exercise muscle function in older adults
This study looks at how rapamycin (a medication that affects a growth signal in the body) changes muscle responses when older adults do resistance exercise. It may help researchers understand whether this treatment could improve or alter muscle function with aging.
DerbyAges 50–90 - NCT06476288Enrolling by invitation
Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Older Adults Starting Exercise
This study tests a simple, non-invasive treatment called Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) in older adults who have been referred to exercise. RIC involves gently restricting blood flow to the arm for short periods, which may help improve how well your body adapts to exercise.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 65 years+ - NCT07230210Recruiting
Nutrition and exercise app study for muscle loss risk
This study tests if a smartphone program can help older adults at risk for muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and nutrition. You use an app to follow exercise and diet plans at home.
Hualien CityAges 65 years+ - NCT07592195Recruiting
Breathing and aerobic exercise for men in drug recovery
This study tests whether breathing exercises and aerobic exercise (like walking or jogging) improve physical and mental health in men recovering from substance use. You'd attend supervised exercise sessions twice a week for 8 weeks and complete health questionnaires.

This trial tests whether adding a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to standard Schroth exercises improves breathing and posture in teenage girls with scoliosis. It may help strengthen the muscles used for breathing.
Kırşehir, MerkezAges 10–18 - NCT04962061Recruiting
Multidomain program to help prevent memory decline
This trial tests a combined lifestyle/health program to help prevent thinking and memory problems in older adults with cardiovascular risk factors. It may help by improving activity, health habits, and overall brain health over time.

Improving ankle push-off in children with cerebral palsy
This early (Phase 1) study tests a way to improve how well the ankle muscles help you push off when walking in cerebral palsy. If the ankle function improves, it may lead to a more comfortable and safer walking pattern.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for resistance training?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 194 recruiting resistance training 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 resistance training 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 resistance training 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.
