Recruiting studies
- NCT07578883Recruiting
Scar Mobilization Therapy for Burned Children's Upper Arms
This trial tests whether a hands-on scar-stretching treatment can help improve scars and quality of life in children who have suffered moderate to severe burns on their arms. The goal is to see if the therapy reduces tightness and improves movement.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 8–13 - NCT06801626RecruitingPhase 3
New ways to reduce burn scar itch
This study tests new ways to reduce itching from burn scars. If you have a burn scar that itches and are between 18 and 79, you may be able to join and try a treatment that could help relieve the itch.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06807021RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of a gel to reduce scarring after burn surgery
This trial tests a gel called FS2 applied after skin graft surgery for burns. It aims to see if the gel can help scars heal better and look less noticeable.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 12–65 - NCT01619917Recruiting
Laser treatment for burn scars on skin recovering
This trial looks at whether a type of “fractional” laser can improve burn scars. It focuses on scars that are healing well past the initial recovery phase and compares laser therapy as a scar-management option.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18–60 - NCT01488240Recruiting
Study of pulsed dye laser for new burn scars
This study tests whether a pulsed dye laser can help manage fresh burn scars as they heal. You may be a good match if you have a new burn scar and meet skin and health requirements, and if your scar type isn’t likely to form keloids.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18–60 - NCT06487910Recruiting
3D-printed pressure garment for burn scars
This trial tests a custom 3D-printed pressure garment for healing burn scars that have become thick and raised. The goal is to see if it helps the scars heal better.
MetzAges 18 years+ - NCT07213544RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two sedatives for laser burn treatments
This trial tests if remimazolam or propofol works better for people getting two laser treatments for burn scars on different days. It aims to find which drug helps you relax more comfortably during the procedure.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06104540Recruiting
Liquid Vaseline vs Olive Oil for Itching and Scarring After Scald Burns
This study compares two natural oils—liquid vaseline and olive oil—to see which one reduces itching and scarring better after a scald burn. You may qualify if you have a healed second-degree burn that no longer needs bandages.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06913257Recruiting
Shockwave therapy plus rehab vs rehab alone for burn scars
This study compares adding shockwave therapy to standard rehabilitation for treating painful, itchy burn scars that are at least 6 months old. It aims to see if the combination is more cost-effective than rehab alone.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT05610878RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell help to improve fat grafting results
This early-phase study tests whether “preconditioned” stem cells from fat tissue can improve the look of fat transferred during liposuction and grafting. If you qualify, you may receive stem cells along with fat grafting to see how well it works and how safe it is.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–50 - NCT06566300Recruiting
Fat grafting for burn and trauma scars
This trial compares two methods of using your own fat to improve old burn or accident scars. It tests whether injecting the fat or using a special stamp-like device (microneedling) works better for making scars softer and less noticeable.
AlexandriaAges 18–60 - NCT06786884Recruiting
Paraffin Wax and Exercise for Burn Scar Recovery
This study tests whether adding warm paraffin wax treatment before exercise helps people with burn scars move their joints better. If you have a burn scar that goes over a joint and your doctor already recommends rehab, this might be an option for you.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07635875RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Burn Scar Improvement Using Fat-Derived Cells
This study tests whether injecting special cells from your own fat can improve the appearance and texture of thick, raised scars from old burn injuries. Researchers hope this treatment may help soften scars and restore more normal-looking skin.
Copenhagen, EastAges 18 years+ - NCT06987981Recruiting
Chitosan vs. Silver Dressings for Children's Burns
This study compares two types of wound dressings—one made from chitosan (a natural substance) and one with silver—to see how well they help heal children's burns and scars. If your child has a recent, mild-to-moderate burn that doesn't need surgery, this trial may be an option to help healing.
Novo MestoAges 6 months–17 years - NCT06857435Recruiting
Fat graft for scar release: a new approach
This trial tests if using your own fat cells during scar surgery helps heal better. If you need surgery to release a tight scar, you may be able to receive a fat graft from your own body.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06857448Recruiting
Fat grafting for recent wounds and burns
This trial tests whether using your own fat cells can help heal wounds or burns that need surgery. It is for adults who have had a fasciotomy, full-thickness skin loss, or burns, and are willing to receive a fat graft.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06438224Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for hand function after burn and nerve injury
This trial tests if a special type of sound wave therapy (ESWT) can help restore hand movement and feeling in people who have nerve damage and thick scars from a burn on their dominant hand. It may offer a new way to improve hand function after a burn injury.
