Freezing Treatment for Keloids, With or Without Injections
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether freezing keloids (abnormal thick scars) works better alone or combined with two injectable medications. If you have a keloid that's been there at least a year, this might help you explore a treatment option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether combining traditional Chinese medicine with wide-band ultrasound can prevent keloids from coming back after surgery. It may help people who have multiple keloids and want to reduce scarring.
This trial tests if ritlecitinib, an oral medication, can treat existing keloids (raised scars that grow beyond the original wound) or prevent new ones from forming after surgical removal. It may help people with large or painful keloids that haven't responded to other treatments.
This study tests how radiation (RT) can treat keloids, especially when surgery is not possible or you choose not to do surgery. The goal is to see if radiation can safely improve or control the keloid.
This trial tests two ways to treat keloids (thick, raised scars that grow beyond the original wound): injecting a medication called 5-fluorouracil alone, or combining it with cryotherapy (freezing). The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain, itching, and visible scarring.
This study tests whether adding a cold therapy treatment (cryotherapy) to standard steroid injections can improve keloids and hypertrophic scars. If you are already getting steroid shots for your scar, you may be able to join and get both treatments on different parts of one scar.
This study compares two medicines (bleomycin and a mix of 5-FU plus triamcinolone) injected directly into keloids to see which works better. It may help reduce scarring.
