Tape treatment for raised surgical scars
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special microporous tape (a gentle adhesive tape) can help improve raised scars from surgery. It may be a good option if you have a hypertrophic scar that is not infected and you are otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 45 years old.
- You have a raised, thick scar (hypertrophic scar) from a past surgery.

This trial tests a scar gel to see if it helps prevent or treat raised scars like keloids and hypertrophic scars. It may be a good option if you have an older raised scar or a new scar that could become raised.
This trial tests a special gel designed to prevent raised, thick scars (hypertrophic scars) after surgery or injury. If you have a new scar from a C-section, breast implant, or clean cut, this study may help reduce scarring.
This trial tests whether applying magnesium through the skin using a mild electrical current can improve hypertrophic scars (thick, raised scars) that formed after a burn healed. It may help make scars flatter and less noticeable.
This trial compares three creams—chitosan (from shrimp shells), silicone gel, and olive oil—to see which best prevents raised scars after surgery or injury. You may be able to join if you have a fresh scar that healed within the last two weeks.
This trial is testing how a laser treatment affects scar healing after body contouring surgeries like tummy tucks or arm lifts. If you qualify, you'll get the laser after surgery and be followed for a year.
This study tests whether a special tape (applied in a specific way) improves how mastectomy scars look and heal. It may help reduce scar thickness and discomfort.
