Karachi, SindhAges 18–70 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07851857RecruitingPhase 3
Short course of antibiotics after head and neck cancer surgery
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics for one day after head and neck surgery works just as well as giving them for longer to prevent infections. It might help you have a smoother recovery with fewer side effects from antibiotics.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for wound infection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 57 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.
