NCT ID NCT06822478
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether a plant-based tincture made from arnica flowers can safely and effectively heal skin ulcers caused by cutaneous leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease spread by sandflies. About 96 people aged 12 and older with confirmed infection will receive either arnica tincture applied to the skin or standard injected treatment. The main goal is to see if the ulcers fully heal within 90 days, with fewer side effects than current therapies.
