Can silicone sheets boost scar healing beyond pressure garments alone?
NCT ID NCT07744867
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial asks whether combining silicone sheets with standard pressure garments can improve the appearance and quality of limb scars better than pressure garments alone. About 60 adults aged 18-65 with scars from injury or surgery will receive either the combined treatment or pressure garments only, with scar height, area, color, elasticity, and overall quality measured over three months. The goal is to see if the combination offers a meaningful advantage in scar maturation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Combined treatment with pressure garments and silicone sheets
- What this could lead to
- If adding silicone sheets to pressure garments improves scar appearance and quality, it could lead to a more effective, evidence-based standard for scar management after injury or surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply to all scars. The added benefit of silicone sheets may be modest, and some people may find the combined treatment less comfortable or convenient.
