Sound waves and herbs take on 'Non-Killing Cancer' of keloid scars
NCT ID NCT07679243
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new approach for treating keloids—thick, raised scars that can be painful and itchy. The treatment combines wide-band ultrasound with a traditional Chinese medicine preparation applied to the skin. The goal is to soften scar tissue, reduce symptoms, and prevent recurrence after surgery, without the side effects of radiation or steroid injections. The trial involves 120 people with multiple keloids and compares the combination therapy to standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
wide-band ultrasound and traditional Chinese medicine preparation (Chuang Li Fu)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive, low-risk treatment for keloids that reduces pain, itching, and scar size without surgery or radiation.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment may not work as well as standard therapies, and long-term effects are unknown.
