Botulinum toxin to help wounds heal after colon surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if injecting botulinum toxin (a muscle-relaxing medicine) into the wound area during laparoscopic colon surgery can help the wound heal better and reduce scarring. It may be an option for adults having this type of surgery.

This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the chest after open-heart surgery can improve how the scar looks and its impact on your daily life. It could help reduce scar prominence and discomfort.
This trial tests whether a single injection of botulinum toxin (a muscle-relaxing substance) into the leg can improve blood flow and help heal wounds in people with severe blocked leg arteries who cannot have standard procedures like angioplasty.
This trial tests if getting Botox shots in the belly muscles before hernia surgery makes the repair easier and more successful. It is for adults who need a planned, open surgery for a large ventral hernia.
This trial tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the anal muscle before hemorrhoid removal surgery can lower pain after the operation. It is for people with advanced hemorrhoids that have not gotten better with other treatments and who are already planning to have surgery.
This trial studies whether injecting a Botox-like medicine into the pancreatic drainage area can help prevent a post-surgery pancreas fistula (a persistent leak). It’s for adults having a planned distal pancreatectomy, and it may help reduce complications after surgery.
