Skin grafts to help radiation wounds heal faster
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had radiation treatment and now have a radiation-caused skin wound that has not healed well yet
- Your wound area to be treated is large enough (at least about 20 square centimeters total)
- There must be a nearby area of skin from the same radiation field that the study team can compare before starting
- You must be able to attend all study visits and follow the care plan, including consent paperwork
- A doctor must feel your wound is suitable for this type of skin grafting

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new type of cream made with tiny particles that mop up harmful molecules to prevent or treat skin damage from radiation. It is for people with head or neck cancer receiving high-dose radiation to see if it can reduce skin redness, pain, and peeling.
This trial tests a new way to match skin color during reconstructive surgery on the head and neck. It may help improve how the surgical site looks and how you feel about your appearance.
This trial tests a new way to help wounds heal by using a special material that supports the skin's natural repair process. It is for people with different types of wounds that need surgery, like burns, cuts, or chronic sores.
This trial tests whether mesenchymal stem cells (a type of healing cell) can help burn wounds recover better when combined with skin grafting. The goal is to improve how well the grafted skin takes and heals.
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.
This trial tests a new way to help second-degree burns heal. Doctors take a small sample of your own skin cells, turn them into a liquid, and apply that liquid with a special dressing to the burn. This may help your skin regrow faster and with less scarring.
