NCT ID NCT07137234
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (like Botox) into the surgical wound can reduce scarring after cleft lip repair. About 32 people with mild to severe unilateral cleft lip will receive the injection, and scar width and appearance will be measured. The goal is to see if this simple addition to surgery leads to better-looking scars.
