Vacuum dressing for healing after rectal cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether a special vacuum-type wound dressing (called negative pressure therapy) helps the surgical area heal better after removal of the rectum and anus for rectal cancer. If you've had chemotherapy and radiation before surgery, this study may help improve your recovery.

Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03527433Recruiting
Compare two ways to close incisions after abdominal surgery
This trial studies which incision closure technique leads to fewer wound problems after planned abdominal surgery. If you’re having elective midline surgery, your surgeon may use one of two closure methods to help determine the safest approach.
Beirut, BeirutAges 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.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04256798RecruitingPhase 3
Respiratory care after high-risk abdominal surgery
This trial looks at a breathing-focused care plan given around the time of major abdominal surgery to improve recovery and outcomes. You may be eligible if you’re having a large midline abdominal incision and can be followed after surgery.
Botucatu, São PauloAges 10–100 - NCT04460872RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone plus walking training to support bones and muscles
This Phase 2 study tests whether testosterone therapy combined with walking training can improve bone and muscle health after a spinal cord injury. It aims to help men with low testosterone and walking problems by improving strength, body composition, and related health markers.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04577690RecruitingPhase 4
PECS pain study for children getting a chest device implanted
This trial tests a pain-control method (PECS) during surgery for children who are having a small chest device implanted. It may help reduce discomfort during and after the operation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 3–18 - NCT04589442RecruitingPhase 4
Graft treatment for deep burns using processed donor skin
This trial tests whether a “microsurfaced” donor-skin graft can heal deep burn wounds (partial- or full-thickness burns) after recent injury. It may help improve healing when the burn area is large enough and not infected.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 21 years+ - NCT04699305Recruiting
Test of ActiGraft for draining skin wounds
This trial studies whether ActiGraft helps heal draining (exuding) skin wounds safely and effectively. If you join, the researchers may use your wound photos and health data to analyze results and publish findings.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT05217160RecruitingPhase 4
KeraStat gel with morphine for non-healing painful open wounds
This study tests whether KeraStat® gel that delivers morphine through the skin can reduce pain and help manage non-healing ulcers or open wounds. You may be eligible if your wound fits specific size and depth limits and you can track pain every day.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT05431101Recruiting
Absorbable versus non-absorbable stitches after carpal tunnel surgery
This study compares two types of stitches used to close the skin after carpal tunnel release surgery. It may help show which stitch type leads to better healing and comfort afterward.
ApeldoornAges 18 years+ - NCT05462860Recruiting
Suprathel dressing for certain partial-thickness burn wounds
This study tests whether a skin dressing called Suprathel can help certain partial-thickness burns heal better and reduce the chance you need skin grafting. It focuses on burns from common causes like friction, hot liquids, or flame, during a “field care” or emergency-type treatment setting.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT05689775Recruiting
Robot-assisted reconstruction using tummy muscle flap after surgery
This trial studies a specific way to rebuild the pelvic floor (and sometimes the vagina) after major rectal or anal cancer surgery. It uses robotic surgery and a flap taken from your tummy muscle to help close and reconstruct the area.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06017193Recruiting
Ultrasound to check bone healing after tooth removal and graft
This study uses ultrasound to check how well your jawbone heals after a tooth is pulled and a bone graft is placed, as part of getting ready for a dental implant. If you have a tooth that needs to be removed and you're planning to get an implant, this trial may help monitor your healing.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06138964RecruitingPhase 2
Patch for scars after surgery
This study tests two different microneedle patches (one with a single drug, one with two drugs) to see which is better at preventing scars after surgery. You would apply the patch yourself at home starting about 2 weeks after your operation.
SingaporeAges 21–75 - NCT06191159Recruiting
Comparing scar looks after different mastectomy incision methods
This trial compares three different ways surgeons make the incision (cut) during a mastectomy to see which one leads to the best-looking scar. You may be eligible if you are having a mastectomy without immediate reconstruction.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT06220045Recruiting
Comparing two meshes for closing abdominal incisions in urgent colon surgery
This trial tests two different mesh types used to close the midline incision after urgent colorectal surgery, to see which one better prevents hernias and wound infections.
GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533072Recruiting
Infrared LED light for wound healing
This study tests whether a special infrared LED light can help heal wounds. It is for adults without chronic illnesses who have a wound that is healing normally.
Erzurum, StateAges 18–65 - NCT06576154RecruitingPhase 3
Antibiotics to prevent infection after hernia repair in high-risk patients
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics before surgery can lower the chance of infection after groin hernia repair in people who are at higher risk due to age, diabetes, obesity, or other health conditions. If you're over 60 and have one of these risk factors, this study may help you avoid a wound infection.
AleppoAges 18 years+ - NCT06667752Recruiting
Antibacterial wound dressing for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a new antibacterial wound dressing to see if it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers safely. It may be an option if your ulcer has been there for over 4 weeks and is not severely infected.
Tallinn, HarjuAges 18 years+ - NCT07275307Recruiting
Test of a wound gel to prevent infections after heart surgery
This study tests whether a special gel applied to the chest incision during heart surgery can lower the chance of wound infections. The gel may help keep the incision site clean and help it heal better.
San Donato Milanese, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06721754Recruiting
Negative pressure therapy for diabetic foot ulcers
This study tests if a vacuum-like wound dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps heal diabetic foot ulcers after surgery. It may be a good fit if you have a foot ulcer needing surgery and are able to walk.
Oslo, NordbyhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06761989Recruiting
Comparing two ways to control pain after Whipple surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a Whipple procedure: one is a shot of morphine into the fluid around the spine, and the other is a small tube placed under the skin at the surgical cut that delivers pain medicine continuously. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for wound?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 353 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.
