Clinical trials: Muscle Disuse Atrophy
Muscular Atrophy, Immobility Syndrome
Mechanisms of Disuse Atrophy in Human Skeletal Muscle (iMOB)
Loss of muscle can be caused by a variety of stimuli and results in reduced mobility and strength and also impacts whole body health. Whilst it is known that muscles waste the process by which this occurs is not well understood.

Healthy, Muscle Disuse Atrophy
The Effects of Protein Supplementation With or Without Urolithin A During Single-leg Immobilization
There are times in life when people cannot use their muscles, such as during illness or injury. Muscle and mitochondria (the 'energy factory' in cells) health decline very quickly when people cannot use their muscles, but certain…

Healthy, Skeletal Muscle Atrophy
Evaluating Changes in Skeletal Muscle Proteins Following Resistance Exercise and Single-Leg Disuse
Skeletal muscle plays a critical role in supporting human health. Beyond its role in providing the force to move, skeletal muscle accounts for a large proportion of metabolic rate, glucose disposal, and amino acid storage.

- Trial name
- NCT06350591
- Testing
- Immobilization, Resistance training

Atrophy, Disuse, Insulin Resistance
Bedrest, Feeding Pattern, and Insulin Sensitivity
In the present study, the investigators will assess the impact of two different feeding patterns (continuous vs intermittent) on insulin sensitivity and muscle mass following bedrest.
- Trial name
- NCT02521025
- Testing
- Intermittent feeding pattern, Continuous feeding pattern
- Where
- Netherlands
- Volunteers
- 20 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Muscle Atrophy, Postoperative Complications
Postoperative Electrical Muscle Stimulation (POEMS)
Patients lose a significant amount of muscle following major abdominal surgery. This is partly due to a catabolic response to the surgical insult and inflammation, but is also probably due to a lack of muscle use secondary to…

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Exercise and Monitoring With Post-Hospitalization Muscle Atrophy to Sustain Intrinsic Capacity and Strength
The aging Veteran population has more frequent inpatient hospitalization than non-Veterans. In addition, older Veterans have an inability to fully recover muscle mass and function after hospital-acquired weakness.

Muscle Disuse Atrophy
Muscle Damage and Disuse Atrophy
Limb injury generally requires a period of recovery during which time the limb is often immobilised (e.g. with a cast or brace) resulting in a rapid loss of skeletal muscle.
- Trial name
- NCT03559452
- Testing
- Eccentric exercise

- United Kingdom
- Volunteers
- 22 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Disuse Osteoporosis, Atrophy, Disuse
Activity Dependent Rehabilitation Model to Improve Bone and Muscle Outcomes
For many after spinal cord injury (SCI) there is immobilization, muscle atrophy, bone loss, fracture risk during transferring (or falls), and the risk of secondary complications, and increase in attendance care and cost.
