Can a laser beam heal stubborn leg wounds?
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 mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
low-level laser device (photobiomodulation)
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.
