Recruiting studies
- NCT07611318Enrolling by invitation
Imaging study comparing wound infection detection methods
This study tests a new imaging device that uses fluorescence (special light) to detect bacteria and infection in wounds. Researchers will compare it to a standard method by taking small tissue samples. If you have a wound that's healing slowly, this might help doctors better understand and treat it.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT07414368Enrolling by invitation

This study looks at how a wound treatment made from donated human umbilical cord tissue works for both new and long-lasting wounds. The treatment is a dehydrated powder that is applied directly to the wound.
Bridgeport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07355452Enrolling by invitation
Leg closure after heart bypass vein harvesting
This trial compares two ways of closing the leg after doctors remove a vein for heart bypass surgery. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing and fewer complications.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–70 - NCT07128953Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Zuoqing San for anal fistula wound healing
This study tests if a traditional Chinese medicine called Zuoqing San can help heal the wound after anal fistula surgery better by reducing certain inflammatory processes. It may be an option for people who have had surgery for a simple anal fistula and whose wound is a specific size.

Kerecis SurgiClose for draining fistula wounds
This trial tests a special dressing made from fish skin (Kerecis SurgiClose) to help heal fistula-in-ano wounds that won't close on their own. It may help people with this type of anal fistula heal faster.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06460402Enrolling by invitation
Ice packs and warm baths after hemorrhoid surgery

Kaohsiung CityAges 18–80 - NCT06384183Enrolling by invitation
Real-world fish skin graft registry study
This study tracks how well a fish skin graft (Kerecis) heals wounds in real patients. It helps doctors learn more about who benefits most from this treatment.
Sarasota, FloridaAges Any age - NCT06312267Enrolling by invitation
Testing a special bandage to prevent wound infections after colon surgery
This trial tests a special bandage that uses a gentle electric charge to help prevent infections in surgical wounds. If you are having planned colon surgery for diverticulitis, polyps, or colon cancer, and you meet certain health requirements, you may be able to join.
Kissimmee, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT06178289Enrolling by invitation
Skin protectant for moisture damage in hospitals
This trial tests a new skin protectant lotion for people in the hospital with skin damage from moisture (like urine or stool). It aims to see if the lotion helps heal these wounds better than current care.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05772468Enrolling by invitation
Virtual pain care for people getting wound treatment
This trial tests a virtual (VR) pain-care approach during wound care procedures. It may help reduce how painful the treatments feel, especially for people who have had very painful wound care before.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05461157Enrolling by invitation
Silicone ointment before head or neck surgery to improve healing
This trial studies whether applying a silicone ointment before and around the time of planned head or neck surgery can improve how your wound heals after surgery. It may help reduce problems like poor scar healing, but you can only join if you meet specific medical and safety requirements.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06501105Recruiting
Testing a new infection test for chronic wounds
This study tests a new quick swab test (WOUNDCHEK) to see if a chronic wound is infected or not. It's for adults with a venous leg ulcer, diabetic foot ulcer, or pressure sore that is not clearly infected.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06295471Recruiting
Comparing pain and healing after two laser treatments on thighs
This study compares two types of lasers (a new DFG laser and a standard CO2 laser) to see which one causes less pain and helps your skin heal better after a fractional laser treatment on your thighs. If you're looking to improve skin texture or reduce signs of aging, this might be an option.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05223998Enrolling by invitation
Treating wounds with tiny skin graft columns
This trial studies a technique where doctors place very small “columns” of your own skin to help cover open wounds. It may help people who need tissue coverage, as long as the wound location and wound condition fit the study rules.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT06717308Recruiting
Testing a gentler adhesive drape for wound therapy
This trial compares a special adhesive drape (the switchable one) with the standard drape during negative pressure wound therapy (a treatment that uses suction to help heal wounds after surgery). The goal is to see if the new drape causes less pain when removed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06725459Recruiting
Negative pressure wound therapy after breast reduction surgery
This study tests if a special wound dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps healing after breast reduction surgery. It may reduce scarring and improve recovery for women having this specific type of breast reduction.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07681648Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Nerve blocks vs local numbing for lumbar spine surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (a longissimus plane block and a multifidus plane block) to a local numbing injection for pain control during lumbar spine surgery. It aims to find which method works best for patients having back surgery.
Aswān, Aswan GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT06445699Recruiting
Light therapy for hard-to-heal wounds
This trial tests a light-based treatment (photodynamic therapy) combined with a special gel dressing for chronic wounds that haven't healed after at least 3 months of standard care. It may help close the wound and reduce infection.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06920485Enrolling by invitation

AnkaraAges 18–45 - NCT06987981Recruiting
Chitosan vs. Silver Dressings for Children's Burns
This study compares two types of wound dressings—one made from chitosan (a natural substance) and one with silver—to see how well they help heal children's burns and scars. If your child has a recent, mild-to-moderate burn that doesn't need surgery, this trial may be an option to help healing.
Novo MestoAges 6 months–17 years - NCT06287866Recruiting
Pinch graft vs. natural healing for scalp wounds
This study compares two ways of healing scalp wounds after skin surgery: letting the wound heal naturally or using a small skin graft. It may help you heal faster or with less scarring.
Sacramento, 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.
