Timolol eye drops for healing surgical wounds
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if applying timolol (a beta-blocker eye drop) to surgical wounds that are left open to heal by themselves can help them heal better and faster. It is for people who have had skin cancer removal surgery and have chosen not to have reconstructive surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether applying timolol (a beta-blocker eye drop) to a wound after Mohs surgery can help it heal faster. If you are having Mohs surgery for skin cancer and have a wound between half an inch and 4 inches, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if a special type of bandage (hydrocolloid dressing) helps heal wounds after eye or face surgery. The goal is to see if it improves healing and comfort.
This trial tests if adding cyclosporine A to the standard natamycin eye drops can better treat fungal eye infections. It may help people with moderate vision loss from a fungal corneal infection.
This study tests whether a medication called timolol can help scalp wounds heal better and look better after Mohs surgery (a precise skin cancer removal procedure). Timolol is typically used for eye pressure and blood pressure, but researchers believe it may reduce scarring and improve wound healing.
This trial tests if a timolol cream can help treat painful or infected nails (paronychia) caused by certain lung cancer medications. If you have non-small cell lung cancer and nail problems from your treatment, this study may offer relief.
This trial tests a sustained-release implant that delivers timolol, a medicine to lower eye pressure, for people with glaucoma or high eye pressure who are also having cataract surgery. The implant is placed during surgery and may provide long-term pressure control without daily eye drops.
