Recruiting studies in California
- 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.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06515093Recruiting
New skin grafts for diabetic foot and venous leg ulcers
This study tests two new skin graft products (PelloGraft for diabetic foot ulcers and SanoGraft for venous leg ulcers) to see if they heal wounds faster than standard care. If you have a hard-to-heal foot or leg ulcer, this trial may offer a new option.
Vista, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06339203Recruiting
Saline vs. special antiseptic for c-section wound cleaning
This study compares cleaning the wound with plain salt water versus a diluted antiseptic solution after a planned C-section. The goal is to see which method better prevents infections for mothers with certain health conditions.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06288009Recruiting
Comparing two types of stitches for skin surgery on head or neck
This study compares two different ways of stitching up surgical cuts on the head or neck to see which method leads to better healing and fewer complications. If you are having skin surgery on your head or neck and the cut will be closed directly, this trial might be a fit for you.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05424354RecruitingPhase 4
Test powder dressing vs usual care for recent burn wounds
This study compares a transforming powder dressing to the standard dressing for partial-thickness burn wounds. It aims to see whether the powder dressing helps wounds heal better and safely when used soon after the burn.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT05910567Recruiting
Ultrasound test for abdominal injuries in children after blunt trauma
This study looks at how well an abdominal ultrasound test (FAST) works for children who come to the emergency department after a serious blunt injury to the belly or torso. The goal is to help doctors find dangerous internal bleeding or organ injury quickly and safely.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges Up to 17 years - NCT05758181Enrolling by invitation
Testing a dressing on surgical wounds to help healing
This study looks at how a wound dressing or treatment affects healing in surgical cuts that are closed with sutures or similar methods. You may be able to join if you’re having a skin surgery on the neck, trunk, or arms/legs with a long enough wound you can follow up on.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01166893Recruiting
Imaging tests to measure burn healing and severity
This trial uses special imaging methods, including a laser-based technique, to judge how severe a burn wound is and how likely it is to heal. The goal is to see whether these scans can help doctors track burn healing more accurately.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 1 minute+ - NCT03796572RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve-block pain relief after a specific elbow bone fracture
This trial studies whether a pain-relief “nerve block” with medicine helps control pain after surgery for a particular type of elbow (humerus) fracture. It may help you feel more comfortable during recovery, compared with standard pain control.

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.

Common questions
- Are there wound clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 33 recruiting wound studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a wound study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a wound trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New wound studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
