Recruiting studies
- NCT07379684RecruitingPhase 1

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 - 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+ - NCT04256798RecruitingPhase 3
Respiratory care after high-risk abdominal surgery
This trial looks at a breathing-focused care plan given around the time of major abdominal surgery to improve recovery and outcomes. You may be eligible if you’re having a large midline abdominal incision and can be followed after surgery.
Botucatu, São PauloAges 10–100 - 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 - NCT05744024Enrolling by invitation
VR-based comfort care during complex wound procedures
This trial studies a non-medicine way to reduce pain during complex wound care, possibly using VR or similar distraction tools. You may be able to join if you have painful wound procedures and can safely use the VR setup.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07382973Recruiting
NTP safety in thyroid surgery: preventing complications
This trial is testing if a technology called NTP (a type of low-temperature plasma) can help prevent complications and improve cancer control when they remove all or part of the thyroid gland. It's for adults having thyroid surgery.
Ocoyoacac, State of MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT06025253Recruiting
Negative pressure dressing after leg amputation
This trial tests a special wound dressing that applies gentle suction to the incision after major leg amputation. It aims to reduce wound complications and help the stump heal better.
Dublin, DublinAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06309368RecruitingPhase 4
Wound irrigation method for ileostomy closure
This trial tests whether irrigating (cleaning) the wound with a special solution before closing the ostomy site helps it heal better, compared to the usual method. If you're having a loop ileostomy reversal, you may qualify.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT06771726RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Can a smartphone app detect belly surgery wound infections?
This study uses an app with artificial intelligence (computer learning) to watch your surgical wound for signs of infection after belly surgery. If you have a smartphone, you can help test whether the app detects problems faster than usual care.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07312513Recruiting
Comparing two wound cleaning tools
This trial tests if a new wound cleaning tool works as well as an existing one for removing dead tissue from wounds. It aims to help wounds heal better.
LodzAges 18 years+ - NCT07653165Enrolling by invitation
Wound therapy for chronic leg wounds
This trial is testing a new way to clean and treat chronic leg wounds using a special wound therapy and gentle suction. It may help wounds that have not healed for a long time.
Coconut Creek, FloridaAges Any age - NCT06503406Recruiting
Testing a new dressing for deep wounds to speed healing
This trial tests a special wound dressing (SupraSDRM®) to help deep, full-thickness wounds heal faster and reduce the time needed before a skin graft can be placed. It may be an option for people with a large, deep wound from an injury, surgery, or burn that isn't ready for a graft yet.
Fort Sam Houston, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT07524062Recruiting
Thermal Imaging to Predict Surgical Wound Healing
This study uses thermal imaging (a camera that detects heat patterns on skin) to predict how well skin wounds will heal after surgery to remove suspicious or cancerous skin lesions. The goal is to identify which patients might have healing problems early so doctors can provide extra care.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07611318Enrolling by invitation
Imaging study comparing wound infection detection methods
This study tests a new imaging device that uses fluorescence (special light) to detect bacteria and infection in wounds. Researchers will compare it to a standard method by taking small tissue samples. If you have a wound that's healing slowly, this might help doctors better understand and treat it.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT04920253Recruiting
Testing a water-jet treatment to heal certain foot and leg wounds
This trial tests a new “micro water jet” device (Debritom+) to help heal specific hard-to-heal wounds in people who can attend frequent visits. If you qualify, you’ll be assigned to the device treatment or standard care and monitored to see how well the wound heals.
Bradenton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07040683Recruiting
Vacuum dressing for skin grafts on lower leg
This study compares standard wound care to a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure therapy) after skin graft surgery on the lower leg for skin cancer. The goal is to see if the vacuum dressing helps the graft heal better.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT04439552Recruiting
MRI study during cornea cross-linking for keratoconus
This trial uses an MRI scan (and a close-up eye scan) to study what happens in the cornea during treatment for keratoconus. It may help doctors better understand how treatment works and who benefits most.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–35 - NCT07459855Recruiting
Can music therapy reduce stress during wound care?
This study tests if listening to music during wound dressing changes can help lower stress. It is for adults in the hospital who need wound care and are stable enough to participate.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06939673Recruiting
Miro3D wound matrix for healing wounds and ulcers
This trial tests a special wound dressing called Miro3D that helps heal open wounds and ulcers. It may be a good option if you have a wound that is not healing, especially if it has tunnels or pockets under the skin.
Coconut Creek, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06420934Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical wound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 72 recruiting surgical wound 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 surgical wound 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 surgical wound 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.
