Recruiting studies
- NCT05789433Recruiting
Aerobic exercise study after colon or rectal cancer surgery
This trial studies whether a supervised aerobic exercise program helps muscles “remodel” (change/strengthen) after colon or rectal cancer treatment. It may help people improve physical function during recovery, but you can only join if it’s safe for you and you can follow the study plan.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06845046Recruiting
Improving muscle health for veterans with HIV
This study tests a way to help veterans with HIV build stronger muscles. It may help improve your strength and overall health.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 20–80 - NCT06689761Enrolling by invitation
Collagen peptides and exercise: muscle strength study
This trial tests whether taking collagen peptides before exercise can improve how your muscles adapt to strength training. It could help you build muscle more effectively.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–40 - NCT05985525Recruiting
Monitoring blood flow in ICU patients with severe infection or shock
This study monitors tiny blood vessels under the tongue using a non-invasive device to see how well blood flows in ICU patients on a breathing machine. Researchers hope to improve care for patients with serious infections or shock.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT06532474Recruiting
Muscle function study in SMA patients on SMN therapies
This study looks at how muscles work in children and young adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who are taking or starting SMN-directed therapies (like Evrysdi, Spinraza, or Zolgensma). It aims to understand the body's response to these treatments, which could help improve future care.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 5–20 - NCT06506513Recruiting
Can exercise help fatty liver disease?
This study tests whether a program of physical activity can reduce fat in the muscles and liver of people with MASLD, a type of fatty liver disease linked to metabolism. It looks at how exercise might help improve liver health.
BrusselsAges 18–70 - NCT06101940Enrolling by invitation
Chinese study tracking myotonic dystrophy type 1 outcomes
This study follows people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) over time to learn more about how the disease progresses. It collects health information and samples to help improve care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06083766Recruiting
Hormone Therapy Effects on Metabolism in Transgender Adults
This study looks at how long-term gender-affirming hormone therapy affects your body's metabolism and energy use. Researchers want to understand these changes better to improve care for transgender and gender-diverse people.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–40 - NCT06009276Recruiting
Gut bacteria, muscle blood flow, and fitness study
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut affect blood flow to your muscles and your overall fitness. You will provide samples and do some exercise tests to help researchers understand this link.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06025500Recruiting
Muscle function before and after lung valve treatment
This study looks at how well your leg muscles work before and after getting special valves placed in your lungs. It uses an exercise bike test and an MRI scan to measure muscle changes, and the results may help people with COPD breathe better.
GroningenAges Any age - NCT05884138Recruiting
Amino acid supplement and exercise for people on dialysis
This trial studies whether taking essential amino acids along with exercise can improve muscle function in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help you build or maintain strength and mobility.
Daejeon, South KoreaAges 20–80 - NCT05801185Enrolling by invitation
Studying muscle changes after leg unloading in healthy young adults
This trial looks at how human muscle cells change when one leg is not used for a short time. It may help us understand muscle loss and how to prevent it.
Huddinge, Stockholm CountyAges 18–40 - NCT05183126RecruitingPhase 4
Paclitaxel dose study using a 1-hour muscle-area infusion
This trial studies how paclitaxel (a chemotherapy medicine) behaves in the body when given by a specific 1-hour infusion approach. It may help refine dosing for people with cancer using measurements from scans, and it includes a medicine schedule you must match.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT03209791Recruiting
Study alcohol-related effects on muscle recycling in the liver
This study looks at how alcoholic liver disease may change a natural body clean-up process in muscle. It compares people with alcoholic liver disease to people without it to better understand the biology and identify possible targets for treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT04142047Recruiting
Study muscle energy and fatigue in older adults
This study measures how older adults’ muscles use energy and how easily they tire during activity. It includes both people with HIV (with stable treatment and an undetectable viral load) and people without HIV to better understand differences in fatigue.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 60–90 - NCT03940911Recruiting
Testing fatigue and muscle effects after starting targeted therapy
This study looks at how starting “targeted” treatment affects fatigue and skeletal muscle function in people with severe axial spondyloarthritis. It may help doctors understand what to expect early after treatment starts and how well it impacts day-to-day energy and muscle performance.
Strasbourg, Bas-RhinAges 18 years+ - NCT03800017Recruiting
Muscle strength and exercise function in lung scarring
This study looks at how well skeletal (muscle) function supports exercise in people with interstitial lung diseases (including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). It may help better understand fitness and breathing limits, which can guide rehabilitation choices and future care.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 40–80 - NCT04976153RecruitingPhase 3
Stem cell implant to treat fecal urge incontinence
This Phase 3 study tests an implant made from a person’s own muscle-related cells to improve fecal “urge” leakage. It’s for adults whose symptoms haven’t improved enough with usual conservative treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for skeletal muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 66 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.
