Ultrasound vs standard care for fingertip wound healing
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a special low-frequency ultrasound device to see if it helps fingertip injuries heal faster than a standard treatment. The ultrasound treatment does not touch your skin, so it may be gentler and help reduce pain or scarring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a fresh fingertip injury where the tip was cut off but no bone or tendon is showing.
- You do not have vascular disease (a condition that affects your blood vessels).
- You do not have an active infection in the wound.
- You have not already had surgery to close the wound.

This trial compares two treatments for a single finger amputation: surgery (reattachment) versus a special dressing that protects the wound while it heals on its own. It is for adults who are able to communicate in Finnish.
This trial tests whether an amniotic tissue treatment can help heal chronic diabetic foot ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. It focuses on a single ulcer below the ankle that has been present for more than 4 weeks but less than a year.
This study tests a special ultrasound scan to see how chronic diabetic or venous foot ulcers are healing. The goal is to use the scan to better track wound improvement and guide care.
This trial studies whether applying insulin to wounds using ultrasound can help chronic diabetic wounds heal faster. It may be an option for patients without serious complications like infection or cancer near the wound.
This study tests whether low-intensity ultrasound (LIPUS) can help a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in the wrist mature faster and work better for dialysis. It may be a good fit if you are an adult with a new fistula that hasn't been used yet.
This trial tests a new “micro water jet” device (Debritom+) to help heal specific hard-to-heal wounds in people who can attend frequent visits. If you qualify, you’ll be assigned to the device treatment or standard care and monitored to see how well the wound heals.
