Hydrogel patch for healing scrapes
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new hydrogel patch that contains dexpanthenol (a form of vitamin B5, which helps skin heal). Researchers will make small, controlled scrapes on your forearm and then apply the patch to see how well it heals the wound and if it is safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a daily injection of dexpanthenol (a form of vitamin B5) can help chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, or arterial ulcers heal faster. If you have a non-infected wound that is between 1 and 20 square centimeters, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a copper-peptide gel applied to a small, fresh wound to see if it helps healing. It is meant for healthy adults aged 18 to 55 who are not smokers and have no skin problems or conditions that slow healing.
This trial compares a new hydrogel dressing to a standard alginate dressing for chronic wounds on the lower legs that haven't healed after at least 3 weeks. The goal is to see which dressing helps wounds heal better.
This study tests a special gel called PAW-Hydrogel to help heal chronic wounds (wounds that have not closed after 3+ months). The gel may help wounds close faster by supporting the natural healing process.
This study tests a new dressing for burns that may need skin grafts. The dressing is made from a gel that helps wounds heal, and the study aims to see if it works better than standard care.
This trial tests a special wound dressing (SupraSDRM®) to help deep, full-thickness wounds heal faster and reduce the time needed before a skin graft can be placed. It may be an option for people with a large, deep wound from an injury, surgery, or burn that isn't ready for a graft yet.
