Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07329114Recruiting
Testing an electrical dressing for infected wounds
This trial tests a special 'electroceutical' dressing that uses low-level electrical signals to help heal infected traumatic wounds. It may help people with wounds that are not healing well and show signs of infection.

TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05153694Recruiting
Study of infections after bladder removal
This observational study follows people after surgery to remove the bladder to learn how often infections happen and what they look like. It may help doctors better prevent and manage complications after this operation.
Munich, Outside U.S./CanadaAges Any age - NCT06220045Recruiting
Comparing two meshes for closing abdominal incisions in urgent colon surgery
This trial tests two different mesh types used to close the midline incision after urgent colorectal surgery, to see which one better prevents hernias and wound infections.
GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT06841237Recruiting
Ointment for diabetic foot ulcer healing
This study tests whether a traditional Chinese ointment (Xiang Lei) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It is for people with diabetes who have a wound that is already starting to heal (granulation phase) and whose blood sugar is well-controlled.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06857708Recruiting
Wound dressings for necrotizing fasciitis wounds
This study tests two special wound dressings (Cytal® Wound Matrix and MicroMatrix®) to help heal wounds caused by a serious flesh-eating infection called necrotizing fasciitis. The goal is to see if these dressings improve healing and reduce the need for more surgeries.
Cleveland, OhioAges 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+ - NCT06312267Enrolling by invitation
Testing a special bandage to prevent wound infections after colon surgery
This trial tests a special bandage that uses a gentle electric charge to help prevent infections in surgical wounds. If you are having planned colon surgery for diverticulitis, polyps, or colon cancer, and you meet certain health requirements, you may be able to join.
Kissimmee, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT07103707Recruiting
Open vs. laparoscopic gallbladder surgery infection risk
This trial looks at whether healing after gallbladder removal is better when the surgery is done with a few small cuts (laparoscopy) versus one larger cut (open surgery). It may help you avoid wound infections.
Peshawar, Khyber PakhtunkhwaAges 18–65 - NCT06957964Recruiting
Does a special wound dressing help prevent infection after belly surgery?
This trial tests a special wound dressing (negative pressure therapy) used right after belly surgery to see if it helps prevent wound problems. It may be an option for people who are having a first-time laparotomy and are in good general health.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–70 - NCT05699174RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two antibiotic routes for infected broken bones after surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving antibiotics by mouth (PO) works as well as giving antibiotics through a vein (IV) for an infected fracture that has not healed after prior surgery. It may help you understand which approach is safer and more effective for getting the bone to heal.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07391735Recruiting
Tracking Wound Healing After Surgery With an App
This study uses a smartphone app called MyHealthPal to track wound healing after certain spine or pain management surgeries. If you are getting a spinal cord stimulator or pain pump procedure, you may be able to join and help improve how recovery is monitored.
Chestnut Hill, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05685628Recruiting
Test cinnamon dressing for smell and comfort of wounds
This study checks whether a cinnamon anti-odor dressing improves quality of life for adults with very smelly wounds. Researchers will compare how the dressing affects comfort and smell, and how well patients can live day to day while treating the wound.
Vaux-le-Pénil, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06014411Recruiting
Early vs delayed bathing after fracture surgery
This study compares bathing soon after fracture surgery versus waiting longer. It aims to see if early bathing is safe and works just as well.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06576154RecruitingPhase 3
Antibiotics to prevent infection after hernia repair in high-risk patients
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics before surgery can lower the chance of infection after groin hernia repair in people who are at higher risk due to age, diabetes, obesity, or other health conditions. If you're over 60 and have one of these risk factors, this study may help you avoid a wound infection.
AleppoAges 18 years+ - NCT07142408RecruitingPhase 3
Bacteria reduction before skin cancer surgery on legs
This trial tests if reducing bacteria on your skin before skin cancer surgery on the leg can lower the risk of infection, especially for wounds left open to heal naturally.
Marlton, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07120386Recruiting
Comparing two wound vacuum methods for severe skin infections
This study compares two wound care methods after emergency surgery for a serious skin infection. One method uses a standard wound vacuum, and the other uses a wound vacuum that also irrigates (rinses) the wound to see if it helps with healing.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04900298Recruiting

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 60 recruiting wound infection 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 wound infection 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 wound infection 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.
