Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT03503240Enrolling by invitation
Skin cancer surgery study about satisfaction, scars, and quality of life
This study asks people who had skin cancer surgery about how they feel about their appearance, their scar healing, and their quality of life. It may help doctors understand what outcomes matter most to patients after skin cancer treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT03155854Recruiting
Surgery to prevent scarring in trigger finger
This study looks at whether doing a limited surgery in advance can improve outcomes and reduce scarring for people with trigger finger who also have a specific palm cord condition. It may help you heal better if you’ve already tried non-surgical treatment or chose surgery.

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.
