Timolol to improve healing of scalp surgery wounds
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You recently had Mohs surgery on your scalp
- Your surgeon is letting the wound heal naturally without stitches (secondary intention healing)
- You can attend follow-up visits to check how the wound is healing
- You do not have a known allergy to timolol or similar medications

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 nose spray (TOR-582) to reduce nosebleeds in people with HHT. If you have moderate nosebleeds, this treatment might help decrease how often and how long they last.
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.
This study tests whether a special powder made from amniotic membrane helps scalp wounds heal faster after Mohs surgery. It is for patients whose wound is deep and at least 4 cm².
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 studies whether applying a silicone ointment before and around the time of planned head or neck surgery can improve how your wound heals after surgery. It may help reduce problems like poor scar healing, but you can only join if you meet specific medical and safety requirements.
