Summary

This study tests a new way to treat burn wound infections using a blue light and a special dye called methylene blue. The goal is to kill bacteria without antibiotics, which is important as many bacteria are becoming resistant to drugs. About 50 adults with burn wounds will receive either the light-dye treatment or light alone during dressing changes. The study will check if the treatment safely reduces bacteria and helps wounds heal faster.
