Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT03765567RecruitingPhase 4

This study tests whether putting antibiotic powder directly into an open fracture wound in the emergency room can improve care outcomes. It focuses on adults treated shortly after injury.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–89 - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 4–12 - NCT04201704Recruiting
Less IV fluids for children after trauma
This trial studies whether giving children less fluid through a vein after serious injury helps them recover safely. Children are enrolled soon after arrival to the ICU so the team can compare outcomes between different fluid amounts.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 6 months–15 years - NCT04232631Recruiting
Noninvasive tests to help wounds heal in diabetes
This study uses noninvasive (no major procedures) tests to better understand how diabetic foot ulcers or infections are healing. It may help doctors choose better ways to support wound healing in people with diabetes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–89 - 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 - NCT04554212Recruiting
Blood flow restriction therapy after kneecap instability
This trial tests whether a special exercise method called blood flow restriction training can help people recover faster and get back to running and pivoting activities after a kneecap (patella) that slips out of place. It may help strengthen the knee while you go through physical therapy.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 14–40 - NCT04560803Recruiting
Skin grafts to help radiation wounds heal faster
This study tests a small skin graft approach to help wounds caused by prior radiation heal better. If you have a radiation-related skin wound that usually heals slowly on its own, this may speed healing and improve comfort.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT04588311RecruitingPhase 3
Epoetin to improve outcomes in severe trauma ICU patients
This trial tests epoetin alfa (a blood-building medicine) to help reduce death and severe disability in critically ill trauma patients in the ICU. You may be considered if your ICU team expects a longer stay and the timing after injury is early.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT04725916Recruiting
Study of water exposure and drain-related risks after certain surgeries
This trial looks at how using water (like showers) affects risks related to surgical drains after specific cosmetic or reconstructive procedures. Your results may help improve post-surgery safety guidance for patients who go home with drains.
Danville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04760977Recruiting
HEMS care for bleeding trauma with low blood pressure
This trial studies how emergency helicopter (HEMS) teams manage trauma patients who have signs of shock from blood loss, especially when bleeding is suspected or ongoing. It may help teams choose the best pre-hospital approach to stabilize you sooner.
AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT04791449Recruiting
Exercise program for healing diabetic foot ulcers
This study tests whether an exercise program can help wounds (ulcers) heal faster in people with diabetic foot ulcers. It mainly looks for adults with type 2 diabetes and enough blood flow to the foot, and checks safety and healing progress.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 20–80 - NCT04805320Recruiting
Study of gum inflammation after tooth removal
This study looks at how gum (periodontal) inflammation affects the body’s immune response during wound healing after a tooth is taken out. You might be considered because you need a molar or premolar extraction where the tooth cannot be repaired.
Lincoln, NebraskaAges 21–70 - NCT04900298Recruiting
Hand hygiene device study during adult surgeries
This study tests whether a personal hand-hygiene system helps reduce germs spreading during surgery. It involves adults having certain types of surgeries and the anesthesia team caring for them.
Portland, OregonAges 18–99 - NCT05134311Recruiting
3D ultrasound check for blood-flow problems in wound care
This study tests whether a 3D ultrasound scan can better assess blood-flow problems that may affect healing in the wound clinic. If you’re already scheduled for an ultrasound evaluation at the wound center, the trial may use an additional 3D ultrasound approach to help doctors understand your circulation.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 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 - NCT05167994RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery radiation plus an anti-cancer drug for soft tissue sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving radiation before surgery, along with anlotinib and penpulimab, can improve treatment for localized soft tissue sarcoma. It may help shrink or control the tumor before conservative surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05172089Recruiting
Treating recurring infection in diabetic foot ulcers
This trial studies an approach to treat bacteria living in a diabetic foot ulcer and help prevent the ulcer from coming back. You may be able to join if you have an open diabetic foot ulcer and good blood flow to the wound.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05287763Recruiting
Collagen sponge to help heal palate gum graft wounds
This trial tests whether a collagen sponge can improve healing after a palate-area tissue graft used to repair gum defects. You might benefit if you’re having specific types of gum graft procedures and your mouth health and overall health meet the study rules.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT05389410Recruiting
PICO dressings compared during repeat hip or knee surgery
This study compares two types of wound dressings (PICO 7 vs PICO 14) in people having a repeat (revision) hip or knee operation. It aims to see which dressing works better to help the surgical wound heal after surgery.
Oswestry, ShropshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05417737Recruiting
Ozone therapy for chronic pain when standard treatments fail
This study offers a palliative (comfort-focused) ozone treatment to adults with chronic pain when usual treatments don’t work or are too risky. Researchers will check whether adding ozone can help symptoms and whether it’s safe for selected patients.
Las Palmas, Las PalmasAges 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 - NCT05491577Recruiting
