Recruiting studies
- NCT06751433RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Scar gel study for preventing thick scars
This trial tests a special gel designed to prevent raised, thick scars (hypertrophic scars) after surgery or injury. If you have a new scar from a C-section, breast implant, or clean cut, this study may help reduce scarring.
Osasco, São PauloAges 18–70 - NCT06806735Recruiting
Tracking scar changes with 3D cameras after surgery
This study uses special 3D cameras to measure the size of raised scars (called hypertrophic scars or keloids) over time. The goal is to see if these cameras can be a helpful tool for doctors to track how scars change after surgery.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04506255Recruiting
Silicone tape to improve scars after breast reconstruction
This study tests whether silicone tape helps heal and improve the appearance of abdominal donor-site scars after breast reconstruction surgery. You may be asked to use a specific dressing/taping routine and be followed to see how your scar heals.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18–65 - NCT07336368RecruitingPhase 3
Cold therapy plus steroid injections for raised scars
This study tests whether adding a cold therapy treatment (cryotherapy) to standard steroid injections can improve keloids and hypertrophic scars. If you are already getting steroid shots for your scar, you may be able to join and get both treatments on different parts of one scar.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05461157Enrolling by invitation
Silicone ointment before head or neck surgery to improve healing
This trial studies whether applying a silicone ointment before and around the time of planned head or neck surgery can improve how your wound heals after surgery. It may help reduce problems like poor scar healing, but you can only join if you meet specific medical and safety requirements.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT03561376RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Zinc ointment versus petroleum jelly after skin surgery
This early-phase trial compares zinc oxide ointment versus petroleum jelly to help healing and scar appearance after certain skin surgeries. You might be able to join if you are having a suitable, uninfected, non-scalp skin incision and can use the study ointment.
Pittsburgh, PA, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07269093Recruiting
Creams for preventing raised scars: chitosan, silicone, or olive oil
This trial compares three creams—chitosan (from shrimp shells), silicone gel, and olive oil—to see which best prevents raised scars after surgery or injury. You may be able to join if you have a fresh scar that healed within the last two weeks.
Kota Bharu, KelantanAges 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 - 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+ - NCT06868615Recruiting
MIRIA laser for skin conditions
This trial tests a laser device for various skin concerns like wrinkles, scars, acne, dark spots, or loose skin. It aims to see how well the laser works for these common issues.
Waltham, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT05984628Recruiting
Stem cells for skin graft donor site healing
This study tests if using umbilical cord stem cells on the donor wound (where skin is taken for a graft) helps it heal better. It may reduce pain and scarring at the donor site.
Fujian, FuzhouAges 18–60 - 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.
SeoulAges 18–75 - NCT06729840RecruitingPhase 3
