Dantrolene for statin-related muscle pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether dantrolene helps people who get muscle pain or weakness while taking statins. It may help if you have muscle symptoms that started after you began statin therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been taking a statin for at least 4 weeks.
- You have muscle pain, aches, or weakness that may be related to your statin.
- A blood test shows a muscle enzyme level at least 1.5 times the upper normal limit.
- You agree to stop taking statins during the study if asked.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you meet other safety criteria.

This early-stage trial tests whether an annatto-derived product (called GG) can help people who develop new muscle pain after starting or increasing a statin. If you recently noticed statin-related muscle aches, this study may see whether the treatment improves symptoms and safety.
This trial tests a once-daily drug called mexiletine PR to see if it can help reduce muscle stiffness (myotonia) in people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 or 2. It may be a good option if you have a confirmed genetic diagnosis and are at least 16 years old.
This study tests whether a new medicine called zeleciment rostudirsen can help ambulatory (walking) males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The medicine is given as an intravenous infusion (through a vein) every 4 weeks and works by helping the body produce a protective muscle protein.
This study tests whether a drug called Denosumab, which is used to treat bone loss, can also help improve muscle strength and mass in older adults who have both osteoporosis and sarcopenia. If you qualify, you would receive the drug and be monitored over time to see if it helps your bones and muscles.
This study compares how muscles recover after exercise in people who take statin medications (cholesterol-lowering drugs) versus those who don't. Researchers want to understand if statins affect how well muscles bounce back from physical activity.
This trial is testing a new drug called SRP-1003 for people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) who developed symptoms after age 12. The goal is to see if it can reduce muscle problems like myotonia (difficulty relaxing muscles) and improve daily function.
