Recruiting studies
- NCT05460611Recruiting
1470nm laser treatment for certain types of hair loss
This study tests whether a specific 1470nm laser can improve hair loss in people with certain scalp conditions. It looks for people whose hair loss is stable for several months and who can keep their usual hair treatments unchanged during the study.
Elmsford, New YorkAges 18–99 - NCT05362929Recruiting
Laser treatment for acne scars in darker skin tones
This study tests a new type of laser treatment for acne scars in people with darker skin tones. It aims to see if the laser is effective and safe for improving the appearance of scars.
Elmsford, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT03561766Recruiting
Pregnancy birth-cohort study for early pregnancy participants
This study follows pregnant people from early pregnancy to help researchers better understand health and outcomes over time. It’s mainly for those who plan to receive care and deliver at Shengjing Hospital in the Shenyang area.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT03646955Recruiting
Partial breast radiation versus no radiation after lumpectomy
This trial compares giving radiation only to part of the breast versus not giving radiation at all after breast-conserving surgery. It’s meant for women with early, hormone-driven breast cancer to see if skipping radiation can be safe and reduce treatment burden.
SantiagoAges 60 years+ - NCT05323929Recruiting
Checks how scar depth after stomach tumor removal affects healing
This study looks at early stomach cancer treated with ESD, a procedure to remove the tumor through the stomach lining, and how the depth of the scar relates to healing. It may help doctors predict better outcomes and improve the procedure for suitable patients.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05316103Recruiting
Optical biopsy of rectal scars after cancer treatment
This trial tests a targeted “optical biopsy” (using a special light-based exam to sample tissue) to better assess rectal scars after standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery. It may help surgeons choose the most appropriate way to operate on rectal cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT07874152Recruiting
Better detection of polyp regrowth after removal
This trial tests advanced imaging techniques during follow-up colonoscopy to better detect if a removed polyp has regrown. It aims to improve how doctors spot potential recurrences at the scar site.
Granada, GranadaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06308172Recruiting
One vs. two layer closure in C-section: a trial on scar healing
This trial compares sewing the uterus back together in one layer versus two layers during a planned C-section. The goal is to see which method leads to a smaller scar defect (niche) in the uterine wall, which could affect future health.
Milan, MiAges 18 years+ - NCT07814079Recruiting
Targeted ablation for ventricular tachycardia
This study tests a targeted approach to treat ventricular tachycardia (a fast, abnormal heart rhythm) by finding and destroying the specific scar tissue in the heart that causes it. The goal is to improve the success of the standard ablation procedure.
Valhalla, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07723157Recruiting
Cesarean scar healing after first C-section
This study watches how a cesarean scar heals after a first-time C-section done after 26 weeks of pregnancy. It's an observational study—no treatments are tested—just careful tracking to learn more about recovery.
GdanskAges 18 years+ - NCT06676761Recruiting
Study of a new minimal scar mastectomy
This trial is testing a new surgical technique that leaves a smaller scar during mastectomy for breast cancer. It may be a good option if you want to keep the scar as small as possible.
SingaporeAges Any age - NCT07657962Recruiting
Skin graft support for breast reduction surgery
This trial tests whether using a small piece of your own skin as a graft can help support the breast tissue during a specific type of breast reduction surgery. It may lead to better healing and shape after surgery.
Sivas, SivasAges 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 - NCT07610668Recruiting
Ultrasound imaging to assess cesarean scar damage
This trial tests a special ultrasound procedure (saline infusion sonohysterography) to help diagnose problems with the scar from a previous cesarean section. If you have symptoms like abnormal bleeding or trouble getting pregnant after a c-section, this imaging may help doctors understand what's happening.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 20–50 - NCT06729840RecruitingPhase 3
Keloid Treatment Study
This trial tests a new way to treat keloids by injecting medicine directly into the scar. It may help people with thick, raised scars that don't go away on their own.
SohagAges 18–60 - NCT07562100Recruiting
AI-Powered Exercise Program for Oral Cancer Patients Returning to Work
This study tests a smartphone-based exercise and wellness program designed to help people recently diagnosed with oral cancer prepare their body and mind before treatment, with the goal of helping them return to work faster and more safely. Researchers will track whether the program improves recovery and reduces healthcare costs.
TaipeiAges 20–70 - NCT06191159Recruiting
Comparing scar looks after different mastectomy incision methods
This trial compares three different ways surgeons make the incision (cut) during a mastectomy to see which one leads to the best-looking scar. You may be eligible if you are having a mastectomy without immediate reconstruction.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges Any age - 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 - NCT07449000Recruiting
Losartan for corneal scar treatment
This trial tests if losartan, a common blood pressure medicine, can help reduce corneal scars. It may be an option for adults with a stable corneal scar that has been present for at least one month.
Monterrey, Nueo LeonAges 18 years+ - NCT06691750Recruiting
Barbed Suture Study for Cesarean Wound Healing
This trial tests if a special type of stitch (barbed suture) used to repair the uterus during cesarean section can reduce the chance of developing a small pocket or gap in the uterine scar, called isthmocele. If you are having a planned or emergency c-section at Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, you may be able to join.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for scarring?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 108 recruiting scarring studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a scarring trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a scarring trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
