This study looks at how obesity affects certain cell processes in muscle. It may help find new ways to treat or prevent muscle problems related to obesity.
BirminghamAges 18–45 - NCT06677749Recruiting
Muscle response to eccentric exercise trial
This trial studies how your muscles respond to a specific type of exercise that focuses on lengthening movements, like lowering a weight. It may help us understand how exercise keeps muscles healthy.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18–35 - NCT07437547RecruitingPhase 2
BPC 157 for acute hamstring muscle repair
This study tests whether an investigational peptide called BPC 157 can help heal a grade II hamstring strain (a pulled muscle) faster and more completely. If you have a recent hamstring injury and are active in sports or exercise, this trial may be an option.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–45 - NCT07516509Recruiting
How muscle cells respond to blood sugar in different body types
This research study examines how muscle cells handle blood sugar differently depending on whether someone is lean or has obesity, and whether their body resists insulin. Researchers will take small muscle samples to understand the genetic differences, which may help develop better treatments for insulin resistance and metabolic health.
Orlando, FloridaAges 30–65 - NCT06666881Recruiting
Exercise training for head and neck cancer patients
This trial studies if exercise training can improve outcomes for people with head and neck squamous cell cancer who need chemotherapy and radiation. It uses body scans to see if muscle changes from exercise are linked to better prognosis.
New Taipei CityAges 20–80 - NCT07678736Recruiting
Muscle health and early heart risk study
This study looks at how your muscles might show early signs of future heart or blood sugar problems. You'll have a muscle check and follow some meal guidelines.
Ghent, East FlandersAges 20–30 - NCT06367413Recruiting
Protein and NAC for muscle recovery after exercise
This study tests whether taking a protein supplement and NAC (a type of amino acid) together helps your muscles recover better after an intense workout. It's for healthy adults who don't smoke, don't use certain medications, and don't have specific health conditions.
Trikala, KariesAges 18–27 - NCT05738824Recruiting
Study how inflammatory muscle diseases naturally change over time
This study follows people with suspected or confirmed inflammatory muscle disease (and sometimes healthy adults) to better understand how the condition progresses and what changes over time. It may help researchers identify patterns that could guide future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT06188767Recruiting
Testosterone and muscle memory study
This study looks at whether taking testosterone can help muscles 'remember' past strength training. You may be able to join if you are healthy, don't smoke, and have not been lifting weights regularly in the last year.
CopenhagenAges 18–40 - NCT06487728Enrolling by invitation
Predicting muscle weakness in ICU patients with urine test
This study checks if a urine test and muscle measurements can help predict muscle weakness in critically ill patients. It aims to find an easier way to identify who might get weaker in the ICU.
Zagazig, Sharqia ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT06630949Recruiting
Vitamin D3 and creatine for muscle health in older adults
This study tests whether taking a combination of vitamin D3 and creatine can help older adults with mild mobility problems maintain or improve their muscle function. If you have minor trouble with walking, stairs, or getting in/out of a car, this trial may offer a simple way to help keep your muscles strong.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 60 years+ - NCT07481578Recruiting
Exercise and gut health study for active men
This study looks at how your training load affects your gut bacteria and how that relates to exercise performance and muscle health. It may help understand overreaching in healthy men.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18–45 - NCT07721766Recruiting
How muscle type affects strength training results
This study looks at how your muscle's natural energy use affects how well it grows with weight training. It may help you understand your own response to exercise.
Jyväskylä, Central FinlandAges 18–39 - NCT05627440Recruiting
Protein diet program to improve muscle strength in heart failure
This trial tests whether adding dietary protein can help skeletal muscles recover and function better in people living with heart failure. It may help with strength, muscle wasting, and overall ability to do daily activities.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT07161973Recruiting
Beetroot for preventing muscle loss in healthy men
This study tests if a natural substance (nitrate) from beets can help prevent muscle loss in young men when a leg is immobilized. You would stay at a research center for about 10 days with one leg in a cast to simulate a temporary injury.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–44 - NCT03761446Recruiting
Testing how diabetes affects muscle loss after bed rest
This study looks at how pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes may change skeletal muscle loss and recovery in older adults after a period of bed rest. It may help researchers understand why recovery can be slower and how to better protect muscle in people as they age.
Orlando, FloridaAges 60–80 - NCT07310667Enrolling by invitation
Frailty and muscle thickness in older ICU patients
This study looks at how frailty relates to muscle thickness in the thigh for patients over 65 who stay in the intensive care unit for at least a week. It aims to find ways to better support recovery.
Altındağ, AnkaraAges 65 years+ - NCT07178353Recruiting
How bedrest affects leg muscles in young adults
This study looks at how 5 days of complete bedrest changes the leg muscles of healthy young adults. It may help researchers understand muscle loss and how to prevent it.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18–30 - 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+ - NCT06539078Recruiting
How aging affects muscle mitochondria
This study looks at how aging affects muscle cells, especially mitochondria (the energy powerhouses in your cells). They are comparing people who are very inactive with those who are endurance athletes, in both young and middle-aged groups, to understand how exercise might slow age-related changes.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–65 - NCT05307367Recruiting
Study exercise and body muscle changes in advanced lung cancer
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.
Copenhagen, DKAges 18–100 - NCT07773142Recruiting
Protein drink and exercise for muscle gain
This study looks at whether a special protein drink can help build muscle better than a placebo when combined with strength training. If you are a healthy young adult who is new to weight lifting, this trial may help you build muscle more effectively.
Birmingham, BirminghamAges 18–35

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for skeletal muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 67 recruiting skeletal 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 skeletal 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 skeletal 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.
