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 - NCT06383091Recruiting
Manual therapy for voice recovery after thyroid removal
This study tests if a special hands-on therapy (manual therapy) can help your voice and throat muscles recover better after total thyroidectomy. It may reduce voice problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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 - NCT06287866Recruiting
Pinch graft vs. natural healing for scalp wounds
This study compares two ways of healing scalp wounds after skin surgery: letting the wound heal naturally or using a small skin graft. It may help you heal faster or with less scarring.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06288009Recruiting
Comparing two types of stitches for skin surgery on head or neck
This study compares two different ways of stitching up surgical cuts on the head or neck to see which method leads to better healing and fewer complications. If you are having skin surgery on your head or neck and the cut will be closed directly, this trial might be a fit for you.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05758181Enrolling by invitation
Testing a dressing on surgical wounds to help healing
This study looks at how a wound dressing or treatment affects healing in surgical cuts that are closed with sutures or similar methods. You may be able to join if you’re having a skin surgery on the neck, trunk, or arms/legs with a long enough wound you can follow up on.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05758168Recruiting
Testing a tie-over dressing to improve surgical wound healing
This study looks at whether a specific dressing technique (“tie-over bolster”) leads to better cosmetic results after certain head or neck surgeries. You may benefit if your surgeon plans a skin wound that can be closed and you can return for follow-up visits.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05205317Recruiting
VR alone or VR plus metformin for C-section scar healing
This study compares two treatments to help improve a C-section scar defect (an issue seen on the uterus scar). Some participants may receive virtual reality (VR) therapy plus metformin, while others receive VR alone, and the researchers will look at symptoms and scar healing.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–40 - NCT05312775Recruiting
Trial after first C-section scar healing
This study looks at what helps healing and outcomes at the scar in the uterus after a first C-section. It may be for people who are having a first baby delivered by C-section at 37 weeks or later.
Hanoi, HanoiAges 18–60 - NCT05206682Recruiting
Treating C-section scar defect with hormones versus surgery alone
This trial compares two treatments for a pregnancy-related problem in the uterus: vaginal repair alone versus vaginal repair plus leuprorelin (a hormone medicine). It aims to improve symptoms like long or heavy bleeding when a C-section scar defect is also linked with adenomyosis.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–50 - NCT05501327RecruitingPhase 2
Dose testing study of a new skin-scar treatment in healthy adults
This Phase 2 study tests the dosing schedule of SLI-F06 in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers learn the safest dose and how well the treatment affects wound/scar-related healing after controlled study procedures.
Encinitas, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06695793Recruiting
Comparing stitches for uterine closure after c-section
This study compares three different ways of stitching the uterus closed after a planned c-section. The goal is to see which method helps the uterus heal best.
CairoAges 18–35 - NCT06741371Recruiting
Comparing suture types to prevent C-section scar defects
This study compares two types of thread (suture) used to close the uterus after a first planned C-section. The goal is to see which thread leads to fewer scar defects (called isthmocele) that can cause pain or bleeding later.
Cairo, AbbasyaAges 20–45 - NCT06448481Recruiting
Comparing two purse-string stitch methods for skin surgery scars
This study compares two ways of placing 'purse-string' stitches to close skin wounds after surgery. It aims to see which method makes the scar look better and heal well.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05408117Recruiting
Compare suture types to reduce skin color changes after surgery
This study looks at whether different types of stitches (sutures) can lower the chance of pigment changes—skin color looking lighter or darker—after dermatology surgery. It may help patients who want to reduce the risk of visible skin color changes as their wound heals.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04641039Recruiting
Study of scar differences after lumbar disc replacement
This study compares how postoperative scars look and behave after certain lumbar disc replacement surgery. It may help doctors choose approaches that reduce excessive scar-related problems after surgery.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18–50 - NCT07241013Recruiting
Amniotic membrane dressing for C-section wound healing
This trial tests a special dressing made from amniotic membrane (the thin sac that surrounds a baby in the womb) and calcium alginate, placed on the C-section incision to help it heal better. It is for women having a planned C-section for a medical reason (like breech baby or previous C-section scar).
