Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT03947450RecruitingPhase 2
Injection of your own skin cells into below-knee amputation site
This Phase 2 study tests whether injecting a patient’s own fibroblast cells (skin-support cells) into the wound area after a below-knee amputation can help the stump skin heal and work better. It’s intended for people who already have (or are close to having) a prosthetic fitting.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT03765567RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic powder placed in certain emergency open fractures
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 - 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+ - NCT03716167Recruiting
Near-infrared laser for healing and pain in leg vein ulcers
This study tests whether a near-infrared laser can improve healing and reduce pain in chronic venous leg ulcers. If you qualify, you may receive laser treatment and will be checked over time for wound healing and pain levels.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03400345Recruiting
Follow-up for transplanted arm patients
This study follows people who received a transplanted arm (or both arms) to learn from their ongoing care. You may be asked for small tissue samples (biopsies) and to continue an immunotherapy plan to help protect the transplant.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT02350205RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a lab-made skin substitute for severe burn wounds
This early-stage trial tests a self-assembled, lab-made skin substitute placed on severe burn wounds to help heal them when there aren’t enough donor sites for standard skin grafts. It may help patients with very large burns, but it has specific safety and eligibility limits.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT02395497RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Penile transplant trial using immune-suppressing medicines
This study tests whether a donated penis can be successfully transplanted using medicines that calm the immune system to prevent rejection. It also looks at safety and recovery of function in men with severe penile loss from injury, cancer surgery, or birth conditions.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–69 - NCT01459107RecruitingPhase 2
Upper arm transplant study using immune treatment
This trial tests replacing a missing or non-working lower arm/hand with a donated upper limb (transplant). It also uses a special immune treatment plan and bone marrow infusion to help the body accept the new limb, aiming to improve hand function and quality of life.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–69 - NCT01889381RecruitingPhase 2
Transplanting facial and jaw bone using donor tissue
This trial studies a special surgery to replace part of the skull, face, and jaw using donor tissue. It also tests medicines to help your body accept the transplant, aiming to restore function and appearance after serious injury.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT01964859RecruitingPhase 2
Testing your own skin cells to heal skin
This study checks whether a treatment using your own skin graft material is safe and feasible. It aims to see if using a small sample from your skin and making an “autologous” skin graft can be done safely and with good follow-through.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for wound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 328 recruiting wound 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 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 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.
