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 a new topical gel (TOR-582) applied inside the nose to reduce nosebleeds in people with HHT. It may help by targeting the abnormal blood vessels that cause frequent bleeding.
This trial tests whether applying a nitroglycerin ointment (which improves blood flow of the skin) helps with wound healing after certain high-risk foot or ankle surgeries. It uses a special camera to see how well blood is reaching the skin during surgery.
This trial tests if a topical beta-blocker (timolol) can speed up healing of skin wounds left open after surgery. It may help reduce pain and improve healing for people who choose not to have reconstructive surgery.
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 study tests whether a powder made from amniotic membrane (the tissue that surrounds a baby in the womb) can help heal large scalp wounds after Mohs surgery. It may help the wound heal faster and with less scarring.
