NCT ID NCT07548593
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will see if adding a cold plasma device to standard scar care helps improve scars like keloids, burn scars, and acne scars. About 800 people will take part, with half getting standard care plus plasma and half standard care alone. Researchers will track changes in scar appearance, itching, pain, and thickness over 6 months.
