Early botulinum toxin for open abdomen closure
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving botulinum toxin (a treatment that relaxes muscles) early after surgery can help close the abdomen more easily. It may be a good option if you have had abdominal surgery that left your belly open.

This trial tests if getting Botox shots in the belly muscles before hernia surgery makes the repair easier and more successful. It is for adults who need a planned, open surgery for a large ventral hernia.
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) before surgery can help close large holes in the belly wall by relaxing the muscles and making it easier to bring the edges together. This might reduce complications and improve healing after surgery.
This trial tests whether a single injection of botulinum toxin (a muscle-relaxing substance) into the leg can improve blood flow and help heal wounds in people with severe blocked leg arteries who cannot have standard procedures like angioplasty.
This study looks at a device (“Fasciotens”) used to help manage an open abdomen and support closure during planned or necessary return surgeries. It aims to see how safely and effectively the device works in people who need a temporary open belly treatment.
This trial tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the chest scar after open-heart surgery can improve how the scar looks and feels. It may help reduce scar thickness, redness, or discomfort.
This trial tests whether adding Botox injections to surgery helps repair large incisional hernias. It may lower the chance of the hernia coming back.
