Cold plasma zapped into groin wounds may stop healing woes
NCT ID NCT07571408
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a single dose of cold atmospheric plasma applied to the wound during groin surgery can prevent healing complications in 214 high-risk patients with peripheral artery disease. Half will get the real plasma device, half a sham device. Researchers will track whether fewer patients need repeat surgery or have other wound problems within 3 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cold atmospheric plasma (device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give surgeons a simple, safe way to prevent wound infections and other healing problems in high-risk patients after groin surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with no phase designation, so results are uncertain. The treatment is applied only once during surgery, and its benefit over a sham device may be small or absent.
