Recruiting studies
- NCT07761468Enrolling by invitation
Standardized medication dosing for ICU patients on ventilators
This study is testing a standardized way to adjust a medication used to help people on ventilators in the ICU. It aims to see if a more consistent dosing approach can help patients breathe better and possibly come off the ventilator sooner.
Querétaro City, QuerétaroAges 18 years+ - NCT06673953Recruiting
Breathing training for heart surgery recovery with neck posture problems
This trial tests whether a breathing exercise device can improve heart and lung function in men who had heart bypass surgery at least 3 months ago and also have neck pain from poor posture. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger after surgery.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 45–55 - NCT05536531Recruiting
NMES therapy to help prevent ICU muscle weakness
This trial tests whether a device that delivers small electrical pulses to muscles can help prevent breathing and muscle weakness in very sick ICU patients. It also looks at changes in blood markers that may relate to muscle weakness and recovery.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 18 years+ - NCT07688863Enrolling by invitation
Comparing breathing muscle training methods for heart failure
This trial compares two different types of breathing muscle training to see which works better for people with heart failure and weak breathing muscles. You may join if you have heart failure with reduced pumping ability and are stable overall.
Viña del Mar, ValparaisoAges 18 years+ - NCT06772922Recruiting
Pulmonary and heart rehab program testing combined exercise
This trial studies a combined lung and heart rehabilitation program for people with lung diseases (like COPD, asthma, or fibrosis) or heart conditions (like heart attack, bypass surgery, or heart failure). The goal is to see if a special exercise program can improve your health and quality of life.
Campinas, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07404956Recruiting
Comparing surgical and N95 masks for operating room nurses
This study checks how wearing a surgical mask or an N95 mask affects the air quality during surgery (called surgical smoke). It is for operating room nurses who work with surgical smoke regularly.
Bartın, BartınAges 18 years+ - NCT05537298Recruiting
Help for muscle recovery after serious ICU illness
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06185179RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Metformin for muscle recovery in older adults
This study tests whether a common diabetes medicine called metformin can help your muscles recover faster after a minor injury. You may qualify if you are 60 or older, generally healthy, and not taking certain medicines.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 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 - 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 - NCT06538974Recruiting
Long-term use of an exoskeleton for leg weakness
This trial tests a walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07259577Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve arm movement, breathing, and quality of life in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It involves a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck during therapy sessions.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–70 - NCT05513417Enrolling by invitation
Digital pelvic health program for women with pelvic pain
This study tests a digital (phone/app-based) program to help women with pelvic pain or pelvic health symptoms. It may help by guiding pelvic-focused exercises and care, especially if you’re recovering from pelvic surgery or managing ongoing symptoms.
Draper, UtahAges 18–99 - NCT05926219Recruiting
Study C-protein changes with fatigue and aging
This study looks at how a blood protein called C-protein relates to fatigue and aging, and how exercise affects it. You may be able to join if you’re otherwise healthy and willing to do muscle testing and activity monitoring.
Eugene, OregonAges 18–80 - NCT05279547Recruiting
Bed-cycle exercise study to test muscle oxygen during ICU care
This trial tests whether brief “interval” bed-cycling changes how well your leg muscles use oxygen compared with steady cycling. It’s meant for carefully selected ICU patients who can safely do active cycling while on ventilator support.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory muscle weakness?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 15 recruiting respiratory muscle weakness 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 respiratory muscle weakness 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 respiratory muscle weakness 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.
