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+ - NCT07323355Recruiting
Single vs double layer stitches for cesarean scar
This trial compares two ways of stitching the uterus after a C-section to see which one leads to a thicker uterine wall later. It may help choose the best technique for future pregnancies.
Ankara, Not ValidAges 18–44 - NCT07679217Enrolling by invitation
Fat Injection and Laser for Better Scar Healing
This study tests a combination of two procedures: injecting your own fat (nanofat) into depressed scars and treating them with a special laser (fractional CO2 laser). The goal is to see if this combination improves the look of scars left by injuries better than laser alone.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 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+ - NCT07166627Recruiting
Treating cesarean scar pregnancy: surgery vs. ultrasound-guided drainage
This trial compares two ways to treat a pregnancy that implants in a previous cesarean scar. The goal is to find out which method is safer and more effective for women with this condition in the first trimester.
SohagAges 18–45 - NCT07678372Recruiting
Ozoaqua for abdominal scar healing after surgery
This trial tests whether Ozoaqua, a special treatment, helps heal abdominal scars better than standard care after open surgery. It may reduce scarring and improve how the scar looks and feels.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT03782038Recruiting
Micro-coring device study for non-keloid scar improvement
This trial tests whether a tiny “micro-coring” device can improve the look of scars. It enrolls adults with certain skin types who have not recently treated the scar and who can safely use numbing medicine used in the procedure.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04389164Recruiting
Tissue-made skin graft for thick, raised scars
This trial studies a lab-made (tissue-engineered) skin scaffold that is used to repair hypertrophic (thick, raised) scars using your own tissue. It aims to improve scar healing after surgical repair, and you would have follow-up visits to check results and side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Up to 80 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+ - NCT07130747Recruiting
Comparing massage techniques for c-section scar recovery
This study compares two types of gentle manual therapy (myofascial release and deep friction massage) to see which works better for reducing pain, helping the belly recover, and improving a C-section scar. It may be a good option if you're between 30–45, had a C-section over 6 months ago, and still have scar or pelvic pain.
AlexandriaAges 30–45 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07849010Recruiting
Skin closure device for better healing and less scarring
This trial tests a disposable skin closure device to help surgical wounds heal better and reduce scarring after plastic surgery. It may be a good option if you are having plastic surgery and want to improve your recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20–50 - NCT06658444Recruiting
Onion gel ultrasound for c-section scar treatment
This trial tests whether a special gel made with onion extract, applied using ultrasound (phonophoresis), can improve the appearance and healing of c-section scars. Participants will have the gel applied to their scar during ultrasound sessions to see if it reduces scar thickness and improves texture.
CairoAges 18–35 - NCT07685158Recruiting
Pregnancy in a prior c-section scar study
This study looks at women who have a pregnancy located in the scar from a past cesarean section. It aims to see how the type of scar pregnancy relates to the number of previous c-sections.
SohagAges Any age - 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 - NCT07634679Recruiting
Bladder Flap Technique and Cesarean Scar Healing
This study compares two surgical techniques used during cesarean delivery to see which one helps the surgical scar heal better and causes fewer problems later. Researchers will follow patients after delivery to check their recovery.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07608874Recruiting
Comparing stitching techniques to reduce scar problems after first cesarean
This trial compares two ways of closing the uterus during a planned cesarean section to see which creates a stronger scar and prevents complications. If you're having your first cesarean delivery, this research may help doctors improve the procedure.
Baden, Canton of AargauAges 18 years+ - NCT07608094Recruiting
Cesarean Scar Pregnancy Treatment Outcomes Study
This study looks at the best ways to treat cesarean scar pregnancies—a rare condition where a pregnancy develops in the scar tissue from a previous cesarean delivery. Researchers will track how different treatments work and help improve care for women with this condition.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07569666Recruiting
Exosomes for treating multiple facial scars
This trial tests a new treatment called exosomes (tiny particles from cells) to improve the appearance of multiple atrophic scars on the face. Atrophic scars are indented or sunken scars. The study aims to see if exosomes can help smooth and improve how these scars look.
Zagazig, ZagazigAges 18 years+ - NCT07576608RecruitingPhase 2
New Injectable Treatment for Thick, Raised Scars
This study tests an experimental injection (9MW3811) to help improve the appearance and feel of thick, raised scars that haven't improved on their own in at least 6 months. The treatment may reduce redness, firmness, and other signs of abnormal scarring.
