Topical Timolol for Healing Surgical Wounds
This study is looking at whether a topical solution called Timolol 0.5% can help speed up the healing of open wounds after Mohs Micrographic Surgery (a precise surgical method used to treat skin cancer). Currently, there isn't much research on using Timolol for these types of fresh surgical wounds. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, speak English, and are scheduled for Mohs surgery for a skin cancer that will leave an open wound between 0.5 cm and 4 cm. The study will compare healing in people who use Timolol 0.5% solution to those who use Vaseline. Researchers will measure how much the wound surface area heals over 12 weeks to see if Timolol is effective. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 102 participants. It compares the effects of Timolol 0.5% solution to standard care (Vaseline) on wound healing.
- What's involved
- You would apply either Timolol 0.5% solution or Vaseline to your wound daily. The number of drops of Timolol would be based on your initial wound size and remain constant until the wound heals. You would have visits or photo checks at 2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for wound healing for 12 weeks after starting treatment.
