Wound care after sarcoma surgery: vacuum or standard dressing?
This study compares two wound care methods after surgery to remove a large sarcoma (a type of cancer) from the leg or groin. It tests whether a special vacuum dressing helps the wound heal better than standard care.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06223269RecruitingPhase 3
Testing realSKIN as a skin graft for deep burns
This study tests a new pig-skin graft called realSKIN to see if it can close deep burn wounds as well as a patient's own skin graft. It may offer an alternative for people with severe burns who need surgery.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06707103RecruitingPhase 3
Gel treatment for venous leg ulcers
This trial tests whether a special gel helps heal venous leg ulcers faster. It is for people with a diagnosed vein problem and a leg ulcer between 2 and 12 square centimeters that has been present for at least 4 weeks.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07157657RecruitingPhase 2
Plant-based healing dressing for deep skin wounds
This trial tests a new 'living' dressing made from plant cells that might help deep skin wounds heal faster and better. It could be an option if you have a relatively large, clean wound that needs new skin growth.
Santiago, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT07120386Recruiting
Comparing two wound vacuum methods for severe skin infections
This study compares two wound care methods after emergency surgery for a serious skin infection. One method uses a standard wound vacuum, and the other uses a wound vacuum that also irrigates (rinses) the wound to see if it helps with healing.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06309368RecruitingPhase 4
Wound irrigation method for ileostomy closure
This trial tests whether irrigating (cleaning) the wound with a special solution before closing the ostomy site helps it heal better, compared to the usual method. If you're having a loop ileostomy reversal, you may qualify.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT06810726RecruitingPhase 2
Platelet-rich fibrin gel for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a special gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF) to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that are not getting better with standard care. It may be an option if you have a mild-to-moderate ulcer on the bottom of your foot with good blood flow and no infection.
Corpus Christi, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT05989386RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Washing the belly to prevent infections after emergency surgery
This trial compares two solutions (salt water vs. povidone-iodine antiseptic) used to clean the belly during emergency surgery. The goal is to see which one better prevents wound infections.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–60 - NCT06921148Recruiting
Silk bandage for gender-affirming mastectomy recovery
This trial tests a silk protein bandage for people having double-incision mastectomy as part of female-to-male gender affirmation surgery. The goal is to see if this special bandage helps wounds heal better.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05271331Recruiting
Numbing injection options for back surgery pain
This trial compares two ways of numbing tissue during a planned back surgery called a laminectomy: an “ESPB block” versus numbing the wound directly. It aims to see which method works better for pain control and comfort after surgery.
Padova, VenetoAges 18 years+ - NCT06857708Recruiting
Wound dressings for necrotizing fasciitis wounds
This study tests two special wound dressings (Cytal® Wound Matrix and MicroMatrix®) to help heal wounds caused by a serious flesh-eating infection called necrotizing fasciitis. The goal is to see if these dressings improve healing and reduce the need for more surgeries.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06841237Recruiting
Ointment for diabetic foot ulcer healing
This study tests whether a traditional Chinese ointment (Xiang Lei) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It is for people with diabetes who have a wound that is already starting to heal (granulation phase) and whose blood sugar is well-controlled.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06832787Recruiting
Negative pressure therapy for diabetic foot wounds
This study tests whether combining negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) can help diabetic foot wounds heal better after toe amputation. It is looking for people who have had their big or little toe removed and have adequate blood flow to the foot.
SingaporeAges 21–100 - NCT06754735RecruitingPhase 4
Oxygen therapy for chronic leg ulcers
This study tests a new device that delivers oxygen to the wound area (topical wound oxygen therapy) to help heal chronic leg ulcers caused by vein disease. It may help people who have not seen enough healing with compression therapy alone.
New York, New YorkAges 18 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.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06439667Enrolling by invitation
Home Exercise Program for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
This trial tests a home exercise program delivered by video to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It's designed for people who can walk on their own and have a relatively new ulcer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06014411Recruiting
Early vs delayed bathing after fracture surgery
This study compares bathing soon after fracture surgery versus waiting longer. It aims to see if early bathing is safe and works just as well.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05739149Recruiting
Ultrasound checks how chronic foot ulcers heal
This study tests a special ultrasound scan to see how chronic diabetic or venous foot ulcers are healing. The goal is to use the scan to better track wound improvement and guide care.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05685628Recruiting
Test cinnamon dressing for smell and comfort of wounds
This study checks whether a cinnamon anti-odor dressing improves quality of life for adults with very smelly wounds. Researchers will compare how the dressing affects comfort and smell, and how well patients can live day to day while treating the wound.
Vaux-le-Pénil, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05458947Recruiting
Physical therapy wound treatments for spinal cord injury sores
This study tests different physical therapy approaches to help heal pressure sores on the sacrum or ischium in people with a spinal cord injury. You may be able to join if you’re already in inpatient rehabilitation and your wound severity score fits the study criteria.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04887688Recruiting
Electrical bandage for chronic wound treatment
This trial tests a new bandage that uses a mild electrical current to help heal chronic wounds. It's for veterans with spinal cord injuries or diabetes who have wounds that haven't healed.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04198454Enrolling by invitation
Compression and CO2 laser for lower leg wounds
This study looks at whether using leg compression and a CO2 laser after lower-leg wound surgery helps wounds heal better. You may be a candidate if you have a sizeable lower-leg wound that will be treated with a specific type of surgical healing plan.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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+
