WOUND HEALING

This study looks at whether a special cell suspension made from a patient's own skin cells can help wounds heal better after skin grafts, flap surgery, or stitches. About 1000 people will take part, with half getting the cell therapy plus standard care and half getting standard c…

This study looks at a new way to treat second-degree burns using a patient's own skin cells. After cleaning the burn, doctors apply a spray of the patient's skin cells and cover it with a special dressing. The goal is to see if this helps burns heal faster and with less scarring …

This study tests if a new surgery that gently stretches the bone under a diabetic foot ulcer, combined with a skin graft, helps the graft survive better than a skin graft alone. About 104 adults with hard-to-heal foot ulcers will take part. The goal is to improve wound healing an…

This study tests whether a cold plasma treatment applied during groin surgery can prevent wound healing problems in people with peripheral artery disease who are at high risk for complications. About 214 participants will receive either the real plasma or a placebo device during …

This study looks at whether using a plasma device along with usual scar treatments can help scars look better, feel less itchy, and hurt less. About 800 people with different types of scars (like from burns, surgery, or acne) will take part. Half will get standard care plus plasm…

This early-stage study tests a gel called LUT017 on small skin wounds from mole removals in 9 healthy adults. Each person gets the gel on one wound and a placebo on another to compare healing. The goal is to check if the gel is safe and may speed up healing.

This study aims to find out which type of dental stitch (suture) is most comfortable for patients after minor oral surgery. Sixty healthy adults aged 20-30 will receive four different suture materials in separate areas of their upper jaw. Participants will rate pain and discomfor…

This study compares two silver dressings—a soft foam type and a traditional type—for treating infected chronic wounds. About 40 adults with ulcers will be randomly assigned to one dressing to see which heals wounds faster and costs less. The goal is to find a better way to treat …

This study compares two types of wound dressings—one with chlorhexidine and one with povidone iodine—to see which better prevents infection and helps healing after a traumatic injury. About 176 adults aged 18-65 with fresh, clean-contaminated wounds will take part. The goal is to…

This study follows 40 adults with serious burns to collect blood, tissue, and medical data. Researchers will look for patterns that could help predict who is at higher risk for infections like sepsis. The goal is to build computer models that improve burn care and outcomes.

This study looks at how smoking affects bone healing after a tooth is removed and a bone graft is placed. Researchers will compare 12 smokers and non-smokers to see differences in healing, bone growth, and gene activity. The goal is to gather early data to plan a larger study on …

This study follows 80 adults with serious burns to collect blood, tissue, and medical record information. Researchers will look for patterns that could help predict who is at higher risk for infections like sepsis or other complications. The goal is to use this data to build comp…

This study looks at whether a harmless thermal camera can help doctors monitor surgical wounds after skin surgery. The goal is to catch problems like infection or slow healing earlier than usual. About 120 adults having skin lesions removed will be photographed with the camera to…
