NCT ID NCT07123285

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether shining a special low-level laser on chronic leg ulcers can help them heal faster. 96 adults with venous leg ulcers will receive either real laser treatment plus standard compression, or a sham laser plus compression, twice a week for 16 weeks. The goal is to see if the laser boosts complete wound healing and reduces pain and wound size.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new, non-invasive way to help heal stubborn venous leg ulcers faster when combined with standard compression therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with no phase designation, so results may not be conclusive. The treatment may not speed healing significantly, and individual responses can vary.
