Recruiting studies near Houston
- 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.
Houston, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT06707090RecruitingPhase 3
Tissue repair gel for venous leg ulcers
This trial tests a gel that helps heal leg ulcers caused by poor blood flow in the veins. It may help if you have a venous leg ulcer that has not healed on its own after at least 4 weeks.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06616844Recruiting
Patch for non-healing diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a special patch made from pig tissue (placenta) placed on diabetic foot ulcers that are not healing well. If you have a foot ulcer that has been present for 4 to 52 weeks and is not shrinking, you may be able to join the study.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07046767Recruiting
Amnion grafts for slow-healing leg or foot ulcers
This trial tests if a special graft made from amniotic tissue can help heal chronic leg or foot ulcers that haven't improved much in the last month. It may be an option if you have a non-healing venous leg ulcer or diabetic foot ulcer that still shows some signs of healing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07632001Recruiting
Miro3D Wound Matrix for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
This trial tests a new wound-healing product called Miro3D to help diabetic foot ulcers heal better. You would receive this product along with standard wound care to see if it helps your ulcer close faster than standard treatment alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07172893RecruitingPhase 4
Dermabind TL for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a new wound dressing called DermaBind TL for people with diabetic foot ulcers. It aims to see if the dressing helps heal these wounds, which can be hard to treat.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06337292RecruitingPhase 3
Wound vacuum therapy for high-risk leg fractures
This trial tests if a special wound vacuum (negative pressure therapy) applied after surgery can lower the risk of infections and other complications in people with severe leg fractures. If you have a high-risk tibia or ankle fracture, this treatment may help you heal better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04003038Recruiting
Negative pressure wound dressings after breast reconstruction in obesity
This trial tests whether a special “suction” dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after breast reconstruction using tissue from the belly, especially in people with higher body weight. You may be more likely to benefit if you’re at higher risk for wound problems after abdominal flap surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05930210RecruitingPhase 3
Study gel treatment for diabetic foot ulcers that won’t heal
This Phase 3 trial tests ENERGI-F703 gel to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not improved for at least 4 weeks. It may help some people whose wounds meet specific size and non-infection criteria.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05638581RecruitingPhase 3
Compare low-titer type O whole blood for trauma bleeding
This study tests whether giving low-titer type O whole blood (or related blood products) works better for treating serious bleeding after a traumatic injury. It’s for adults who start blood transfusions right away under a massive bleeding plan.
Houston, TexasAges 15 years+ - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07701590Recruiting
New wound dressings for hard-to-heal leg and foot ulcers
This study tests a special amniotic membrane wound dressing compared to a synthetic wound matrix for stubborn diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers. It may help if your wound has not been healing well for over a month.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07116876Recruiting
Placental membrane vs standard care for diabetic foot ulcers
This study tests a special wound covering made from donated placental tissue to see if it helps diabetic foot ulcers heal better than usual care. It may be an option for people with diabetes who have a foot sore that hasn't healed after 30 days.
Sugar Land, TexasAges 21–80 - NCT02280733Recruiting
Chronic wound registry for real-world care documentation
This study is a real-world registry that collects information about chronic wounds and ulcers as they’re treated in everyday settings. It may help improve how care is tracked and supported, even if you don’t get a new medicine from the study.
The Woodlands, TexasAges Any age - NCT06801626RecruitingPhase 3
New ways to reduce burn scar itch
This study tests new ways to reduce itching from burn scars. If you have a burn scar that itches and are between 18 and 79, you may be able to join and try a treatment that could help relieve the itch.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT05275335Recruiting
Study how germs in burn wounds are best identified
This study compares two ways of finding germs (microbes) in burn wounds: traditional tissue swabs/cultures versus a newer DNA-based method. It may help improve how clinicians understand burn infections and tailor care.

What taking part in a wound study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
