Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT05954559RecruitingPhase 4
MRI study testing a strong-contrast heart scar scan agent
This Phase 4 study checks whether a stronger MRI contrast dye (given in a higher “relaxivity” form) can better help doctors assess heart muscle scar tissue. You may be eligible if you already joined a prior similar MRI contrast study and can safely undergo another heart MRI.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21 years+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT03713866Recruiting
Imaging heart scar during ablation for certain fast heart rhythms
This trial uses special heart imaging during a catheter ablation to better map scar tissue that may be causing a dangerous fast heart rhythm (monomorphic ventricular tachycardia). It may help doctors target the problem more accurately during the procedure.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18–85 - NCT05224726Recruiting
Platelet-rich plasma for healing after C-section
This study tests whether a treatment made from your own platelets (platelet-rich plasma) can help the uterus heal after an elective C-section. You may be considered if you are full-term and having a planned C-section.
Ramat Gan, CenterAges 18–52 - 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 - 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 - NCT05568069Recruiting
Study of defibrillator implants for non-ischemic weak heart
This study looks at whether implantable defibrillators can reduce dangerous heart rhythms in people with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (heart weakness not caused by blocked heart arteries), a heart scar, and very low pumping strength despite best treatment. It compares different approaches to choosing which patients should receive these devices.
High Wycombe, BuckinghamshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05677971RecruitingPhase 3
Tested medicine to treat liver scarring in PiZZ alpha-1 disease
This Phase 3 study tests fazirsiran for safety and whether it can help people with a specific genetic form of alpha-1 antitrypsin–related liver disease that causes liver scarring. You may be eligible if you have the PiZZ genetic type and moderate-to-severe fibrosis, with certain lung and liver conditions ruled out.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT05794386Recruiting
Ablation plan guided by left-heart scar map for persistent atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether using a 3D heart “scar map” helps doctors choose a better catheter ablation strategy for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). It may help reduce ongoing AF by targeting the scar area in the left atrium.
Seoul, Jongno-guAges 19 years+ - NCT05825170Recruiting
Hyaluronic acid lip filler for lip deformity after cleft surgery
This trial tests a hyaluronic acid filler (placed in the lips) to improve lip shape in people who had cleft lip and palate surgery. It looks at how well the filler works and how safe it is for your lips and surrounding skin.
Lille, NordAges 18 years+ - NCT05856565Recruiting
AI study using skin scar images to predict anti-PD-1 response
This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that looks at images of skin “peri-scar” areas to predict how well anti-PD-1 immunotherapy will work. It may help doctors better choose treatment for people with hard-to-operate (inoperable) melanoma or certain skin cancers.
Besançon, Bourgogne-Franche-ComtéAges 18 years+ - NCT06138873Recruiting
Study of scar-guided ablation for ventricular tachycardia
This trial is testing a new approach to treating a fast, dangerous heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that comes from scar tissue in people with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The goal is to use a special mapping technique to guide the ablation (a procedure that destroys the tiny area causing the problem) to stop the arrhythmia.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06138964RecruitingPhase 2
Patch for scars after surgery
This study tests two different microneedle patches (one with a single drug, one with two drugs) to see which is better at preventing scars after surgery. You would apply the patch yourself at home starting about 2 weeks after your operation.
