Observational study on overgranulated wounds
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study collects photos and information from people with wounds that have too much growth (hypergranulation). The goal is to create a better way to measure this condition and design future studies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 2 and 85 years old.
- Have a wound that has not healed within a certain time: a leg ulcer for 6-24 weeks, a surgical wound for 2-24 weeks, or a skin opening for a medical device like a feeding tube or catheter.
- The overgrown tissue in the wound must be at least 2 mm high and 10 mm long.
- Be in generally good health and able to attend all study visits.
- Be willing to provide written permission (consent) if an adult, or have a guardian give permission and you give your agreement (assent) if a child.

This study tests how well a pig-based covering dressing works on skin graft donor-site wounds (where skin is taken to make a graft). It may help support faster, safer healing after a split-thickness skin graft.
This study looks at fluid from chronic (non-healing) wounds to understand why they don't heal and how biofilms (bacteria that stick to wounds) affect healing. The goal is to find better ways to treat these wounds.
This study collects information on various wound types and how they respond to standard care. It aims to learn what works best for wounds that haven't healed after 4 weeks of treatment.
This study looks at how genes and “chemical tags” on cells may contribute to chronic wounds that don’t heal. Your information and possibly samples from the largest wound could help researchers understand why ulcers last so long.
This trial studies whether ActiGraft helps heal draining (exuding) skin wounds safely and effectively. If you join, the researchers may use your wound photos and health data to analyze results and publish findings.
This study looks at what makes some surgical wounds heal slowly, especially in people with diabetes. The goal is to understand the healing problem better so future treatments can be more effective.
