Laser zaps cysts: new study tests cheaper, faster fix
NCT ID NCT07652099
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two treatments for non-abscessed pilonidal cysts: a new laser fiber procedure and traditional surgery. Researchers will track costs, healing time, pain, and recurrence over 12 months in 150 adults. The goal is to see if laser treatment is more cost-effective and less disruptive than surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
laser fiber treatment
What this could lead to
If successful, laser treatment could offer a less invasive, faster-healing option for pilonidal cysts, reducing costs and recovery time.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (150 people) comparing two procedures, so results may not apply to everyone. Laser treatment might not be as effective as surgery in preventing recurrence.
