High-protein drink for muscle loss during cancer treatment
This study tests whether a high-protein drink can help prevent or improve muscle loss and weakness in people with cancer who are getting chemotherapy or preparing for chest surgery. If you are 40 or older, have low muscle strength, and can manage daily activities, you may be able to join.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 40 years+ - NCT07078877Recruiting
Laser therapy for knee osteoarthritis: a new option?
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy (a painless, non-surgical treatment using light) can reduce knee pain and improve knee function, cartilage health, and muscle strength in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option if you haven't had recent knee injections or physical therapy.
Ankara, YENIMAHALLEAges 50 years+ - NCT05491434Recruiting
Study of muscle loss in colon cancer patients
This trial looks at muscle loss (called sarcopenia) in people with colon cancer to test an intervention that may help strength or recovery. If you’re age 70 or older and meet the cancer and health requirements, you may be able to take part.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 70 years+ - NCT06337357Recruiting
Strength training for older adults with diabetes and muscle loss
This trial tests whether a specific strength-training program (called progressive resistance training) can help older adults with both type 2 diabetes and sarcopenia (muscle loss) improve muscle strength and overall function.
HanoiAges 60–80 - NCT04987814Recruiting
Testing a skin-sensor scan to detect muscle loss
This study uses a high-detail sensor placed on the skin to look for signs of sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss. The goal is to see whether the scan can help diagnose sarcopenia more accurately.
Ivry-sur-SeineAges 75 years+ - NCT07059637Recruiting
Clinic for muscle loss in COPD patients
This study tests a new clinic designed to help people with COPD who have lost muscle mass (sarcopenia). By using a CT scan done during your hospital stay, doctors can identify muscle loss and offer treatments to help you regain strength and function.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40 years+ - NCT06991855Recruiting
Nutritional supplements for muscle health in older adults
This trial tests if taking leucine and omega-3 fatty acids can improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with low muscle health. It looks at people who have lost muscle and strength or walk slowly.
Linkou DistrictAges 50–99 - NCT06974461Recruiting
Blood flow restriction training for stroke-related muscle loss
This study tests whether a special type of strength training (using bands to partially block blood flow) can improve muscle strength and physical function in people who have had a stroke and have muscle loss. It is designed to help improve daily activities and overall mobility.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 50 years+ - NCT06963359Recruiting
Testing a new tool to diagnose muscle loss in older adults
This trial uses a high-definition surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) device to see if it can help diagnose and track sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It may help find better ways to monitor muscle health in people aged 75 and older.
Issy-les-MoulineauxAges 75 years+ - NCT06950125Recruiting
JUICE HA for age-related muscle loss
This trial tests a dietary supplement called JUICE HA to see if it helps improve muscle strength and function in older adults with age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). If you qualify, you'll take the supplement and be monitored for any changes.
TaichungAges 65 years+ - NCT06868095Enrolling by invitation
Sarcopenia’s impact on early-onset colorectal cancer
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) affects people diagnosed with colorectal cancer before age 50. It uses CT or MRI scans taken at diagnosis to measure muscle mass and see how it relates to treatment and outcomes.
Ages 18–49 - NCT06814626RecruitingPhase 3
Nutrition therapy for muscle loss in cirrhosis with fluid buildup
This trial tests whether a special nutrition plan can help treat muscle loss in people with liver cirrhosis who also have fluid buildup that doesn't improve with standard treatment. It aims to improve strength and outcomes after a procedure to place a shunt in the liver.
PalermoAges 18–80 - NCT06794853Recruiting
TIPS for improving muscle wasting in liver cirrhosis
This study looks at how a treatment called TIPS (a procedure to reduce pressure in the liver) might help improve muscle wasting (sarcopenia) in people with liver cirrhosis. If you are scheduled for TIPS, researchers want to see if it can stop or reverse muscle loss.
WuhanAges 18–80 - NCT06689618Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation exercise study for older adults
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise helps improve nerve signals to muscles in older adults. It compares older participants (65+) with younger ones (18-39) to see how this type of exercise affects muscle activation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sarcopenia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 182 recruiting sarcopenia 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 sarcopenia 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 sarcopenia 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.
