New blister treatment for ultra-runners
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study compares a new skin treatment to standard care for blisters caused by ultra-distance running. It will see if the new treatment helps blisters heal faster, using photos and questionnaires you complete from home over two weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You recently finished an ultra-distance race and have at least one clear fluid blister (not a blood blister).
- You are otherwise free from injury.
- You can carefully photograph the blister with your smartphone at every dressing change for 14 days and use a secure app to send the photos.
- You have no allergies to common antibiotic ointments (like bacitracin or polymyxin B) or copper-based products.
- You do not have medical conditions that slow healing (like diabetes, circulation problems, or an autoimmune disease), and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests a new wound covering called NeoThelium FT to help diabetic foot ulcers heal. It is for people whose ulcer has not improved much with standard care and is not infected or too deep.
This trial compares several advanced wound treatments (called CAMPs) plus standard care versus standard care alone for diabetic foot ulcers that are slow to heal. The goal is to see if adding these treatments helps ulcers close faster.
This early-stage study tests stem cell–derived “extra-cellular vesicles” (small natural cell packages) to help heal painful skin wounds in people with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB). If you have suitable, untreated wounds and meet the safety requirements, you may be able to join and help researchers learn whether this treatment is beneficial.
This trial tests whether adding a special treatment (cellular acellular and matrix-like products) to standard wound care helps diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers heal faster. It may be an option if you have a diabetes-related foot ulcer that hasn't healed with standard care.
This trial tests a new “micro water jet” device (Debritom+) to help heal specific hard-to-heal wounds in people who can attend frequent visits. If you qualify, you’ll be assigned to the device treatment or standard care and monitored to see how well the wound heals.
This study tests a new wound therapy for diabetic foot ulcers that haven't healed with standard care. It aims to see if the therapy helps these ulcers heal better and faster.
