Pressure garment plus silicone for limb scars
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of treating scars on arms or legs: using a pressure garment alone versus using a pressure garment plus a silicone sheet. It aims to find out which works better and to build a more complete way to assess scar improvement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You need a scar on your arm or leg that is at least 5 centimeters long (about 2 inches).

This trial tests whether a tiny “micro-coring” device can improve the look of scars. It enrolls adults with certain skin types who have not recently treated the scar and who can safely use numbing medicine used in the procedure.
This trial tests a special gel designed to prevent raised, thick scars (hypertrophic scars) after surgery or injury. If you have a new scar from a C-section, breast implant, or clean cut, this study may help reduce scarring.
This study tests whether silicone tape helps heal and improve the appearance of abdominal donor-site scars after breast reconstruction surgery. You may be asked to use a specific dressing/taping routine and be followed to see how your scar heals.
This trial tests a custom 3D-printed pressure garment for healing burn scars that have become thick and raised. The goal is to see if it helps the scars heal better.
This study tests whether a special pressure sleeve worn inside your prosthetic socket can help reduce scarring on your residual limb after a burn injury and amputation. If you already use a well-fitting prosthetic leg or arm, this trial may help improve your scar health and comfort.
This trial tests whether applying a silicone gel to eyelid scars after blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and using sun protection helps reduce scarring. It may offer a simple way to improve healing and appearance.
