Recruiting studies
- NCT06832553Recruiting
Safer breathing tube taping for premature babies
This study tests a different way to secure the breathing tube in preterm babies on a ventilator. It may help reduce skin problems or unplanned tube removal in the NICU.
BatmanAges 6 months–8 months - 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+ - NCT07003906Recruiting
Negative pressure therapy for emergency belly surgery incisions
This trial tests if negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) helps heal large cuts from emergency belly surgery better than a standard dressing. It may reduce infections and improve recovery.
EskilstunaAges 18 years+ - NCT05989386RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Washing the belly to prevent infections after emergency surgery
This trial compares two solutions (salt water vs. povidone-iodine antiseptic) used to clean the belly during emergency surgery. The goal is to see which one better prevents wound infections.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–60 - NCT03997552Recruiting
Gum surgery options to help regenerate damaged gum bone
This trial compares two dental gum surgery approaches to see which better helps the gum and bone heal in people with periodontitis. It may help by improving the depth of gum pockets and supporting regrowth of damaged areas around teeth.
MurciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07173621Enrolling by invitation
Comparing a wound-healing gel to standard care after thyroid or parathyroid surgery
This study compares a special wound-healing gel (called AMNIOEFFECT) with standard care after thyroid or parathyroid surgery. The goal is to see if the gel helps your incision heal better.
Sarasota, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03997578Recruiting
Gum surgery for deep periodontal bone defects
This trial studies a specific gum surgery technique plus a biologic product to help fill deep gum/bone defects from periodontitis (gum disease). It may help reduce gum pocket depth and improve healing around affected teeth.
MurciaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06267105Recruiting
Comparing skin incisions for trigger finger surgery
This study compares two different ways of making the skin cut (incision) during surgery for trigger finger. The goal is to see which incision leads to better hand function after recovery.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 18–100 - NCT06524401Recruiting
New device to prevent skin problems after ostomy surgery
This study tests a new device called the Limpet that is placed over a stoma (an opening in your belly after colon surgery) to help prevent skin problems. It might help people with a new ileostomy or a high-output fistula.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06428149Recruiting
Comparing gum surgery techniques for deep pockets
This study looks at three different ways to make cuts in the gums during surgery for deep pockets caused by gum disease. It aims to find which technique helps heal better and save more bone.
Murcia, MurciaAges 18–80 - NCT07686913Recruiting
Steri-Strips vs standard closure for C-section incisions
This study compares using Steri-Strips (a special type of tape) to close the C-section incision versus the standard method. The goal is to see which way helps the wound heal better.
Moreno Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07368322Recruiting
Y-incision vs. standard surgery for aortic root enlargement
This study tests a new surgical method (Y-incision) to enlarge the aortic root during valve replacement, which may help people with a small valve opening. It compares this technique to standard approaches to see if it can prevent the new valve from being too small.
HaifaAges 18–80 - NCT06856707Enrolling by invitation
MIRA surgical system registry study
This study tracks outcomes for people having surgery with the MIRA Surgical System, a robotic tool. Joining helps doctors learn how well the system works and if it is safe.
Lincoln, NebraskaAges Any age - NCT07217626RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve blocks before leg fracture surgery in older adults
This trial tests whether giving a nerve block (medicine to numb the leg) before surgery helps older adults recover better from a broken leg bone. If you are 50 or older and need surgery for a specific type of leg fracture, you may be eligible.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 50 years+ - NCT07084935Recruiting
Comparing pain monitors during children’s surgery
This trial compares two devices that measure pain levels during surgery in children. It may help doctors better manage pain for children having planned surgery with general anesthesia.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 1–12 - NCT07429812Enrolling by invitation

- Does it cost anything to join a surgical incision 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.
