Fat grafting for pain relief in chronic wounds
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat painful long-lasting wounds: one uses your own fat (fat grafting) plus standard care, and the other uses standard care alone. It aims to see if adding fat grafting reduces pain better than standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a wound (from vein problems, poor blood flow, injury, burn, or diabetes) that has been there for at least 3 months.
- You feel pain at rest that is more than a mild ache (a score above 3 on a 0–10 pain scale).
- Your wound is between 4 and 10 square centimeters (about the size of a large coin).

This trial tests whether using your own fat cells can help heal wounds or burns that need surgery. It is for adults who have had a fasciotomy, full-thickness skin loss, or burns, and are willing to receive a fat graft.
This trial compares two methods of using your own fat to improve old burn or accident scars. It tests whether injecting the fat or using a special stamp-like device (microneedling) works better for making scars softer and less noticeable.
This trial injects your own fat into the painful tendon area to help it heal. It is for people with long-lasting tendon pain that has not improved with other treatments like physical therapy or injections.
This trial tests if using your own fat cells during scar surgery helps heal better. If you need surgery to release a tight scar, you may be able to receive a fat graft from your own body.
This study tests whether using your own fat (taken from another part of your body) under a skin graft helps the healing and cosmetic result after penile reconstruction. The fat may improve how the graft takes and how the area looks.
This study tests a combination of two procedures: injecting your own fat (nanofat) into depressed scars and treating them with a special laser (fractional CO2 laser). The goal is to see if this combination improves the look of scars left by injuries better than laser alone.
