WOUND HEALING

This study looks at whether applying a patient's own skin cells (called a basal cell suspension) to surgical wounds can help them heal faster and with less scarring. Researchers will compare 500 people who get this extra treatment with 500 who get standard surgery alone. The goal…

This study looks at whether spraying a patient's own skin cells onto second-degree burns, followed by a biological dressing, helps wounds heal faster and with less scarring. About 386 people will take part across multiple hospitals in China. Researchers will compare those getting…

This study tests if a new surgical method—gently stretching the bone under the wound and then placing a skin graft—can help diabetic foot ulcers heal better than skin grafts alone. About 104 adults with hard-to-heal foot sores will be randomly assigned to get either the combined …

This study tests whether a single dose of cold atmospheric plasma applied to the wound during groin surgery can prevent healing complications in 214 high-risk patients with peripheral artery disease. Half will get the real plasma device, half a sham device. Researchers will track…

This study tests whether taking oral nifedipine, a drug usually used for high blood pressure, can reduce pain and improve wound healing after hemorrhoid removal. One hundred adults in Yemen will receive either nifedipine or a placebo twice daily for two weeks after surgery. Resea…

This study tests whether using ozonated soap and oil after open abdominal surgery leads to better scar quality than standard care alone. About 144 adults having scheduled abdominal surgery will be randomly assigned to either add the ozonated products to their usual wound care or …

This study tests whether injecting a woman's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into an episiotomy cut right after childbirth can improve healing and reduce pain. Two hundred women will be randomly assigned to receive either PRP or standard wound care. Researchers will check wound he…

This early-stage study tests a gel called LUT017 on small skin wounds from mole removals in healthy adults. Each person gets the gel on one wound and a placebo on another to compare healing. The goal is to see if the gel is safe and might help wounds close faster. Only 9 people w…

This study compares four types of stitches used after minor oral surgery to see which ones cause the least pain and discomfort. Sixty adults will receive all four suture materials in different parts of their upper jaw and report their experiences over two weeks. The goal is to he…

This study will see if adding a cold plasma device to standard scar care helps improve scars like keloids, burn scars, and acne scars. About 800 people will take part, with half getting standard care plus plasma and half standard care alone. Researchers will track changes in scar…

This study compares two types of wound dressings—chlorhexidine-impregnated gauze and povidone-iodine dressing—to see which one better prevents infection and speeds up healing in people with fresh, clean-contaminated wounds from an injury. About 176 adults aged 18 to 65 will take …

This study compares a modern silver foam dressing to a traditional dry silver dressing for chronic wound infections. Researchers will track how much the wound shrinks in two weeks and how many wounds fully heal. The goal is to find which dressing works better and costs less for p…

This pilot study will check if it's possible to collect useful nutrition and health information from 30 adults with diabetic foot ulcers. Researchers want to see if they can recruit enough people and gather complete data. The goal is to learn about patients' diet, body compositio…

This study follows 40 adults with serious burn injuries to collect blood, tissue samples, and medical record data. Researchers will look for patterns that could help predict who will develop sepsis or other complications. The goal is to build a computer-based 'digital twin' model…

This study follows 80 adults with serious burns to understand how their bodies respond to injury and treatment. Researchers collect blood and tissue samples and review medical records to find patterns that might predict sepsis and other complications. The goal is to build compute…

This pilot study will look at how well bone heals after a tooth is removed and a bone graft is placed, comparing smokers and non-smokers. Twelve adults will be enrolled to measure bone width and height, and analyze gene activity and tissue samples. The goal is to gather initial d…
