Chinese medicine and ultrasound for keloid prevention
Treatments studied
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least two keloids on your body that need surgery.
- You are between 14 and 60 years old.

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 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 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.
This study uses an online survey to learn about people’s keloid condition over time. It may help researchers better understand what living with keloids is like and what factors relate to changes.
This study looks at DNA differences to better understand why keloids—raised, thick scar tissue—can form and grow. It may help researchers find causes and future ways to prevent or treat keloids.
This study looks at how keloid scars form by studying the skin cells. You may be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have a keloid, and are already planning to have surgery to remove it.
