Salmon-based injection to improve neck scar after thyroid surgery
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests an injection made from salmon DNA (called polynucleotide) to see if it can make the scar from thyroid surgery look better and heal more smoothly. It may help reduce scarring and improve how the neck looks after the operation.

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.
This study tests an experimental injection (9MW3811) to help improve the appearance and feel of thick, raised scars that haven't improved on their own in at least 6 months. The treatment may reduce redness, firmness, and other signs of abnormal scarring.
This study tests a combination of two procedures: injecting your own fat (nanofat) into depressed scars and treating them with a special laser (fractional CO2 laser). The goal is to see if this combination improves the look of scars left by injuries better than laser alone.
This study tests a medication called Verteporfin, which may improve how surgical wounds heal. It is given during surgery to remove a type of skin cancer or precancerous lesion, and the researchers will see if it helps the wound heal better.
This study tests if a special laser can improve scars from thyroid surgery. It is for people with fresh or older scars in the middle of the neck.
This study tests an injectable treatment called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to help tighten loose skin on the neck. It is a small pilot study to see if the treatment is safe and works for people with mild to moderate neck skin laxity.
