Plasma power: could a cold gas device speed up wound healing?

NCT ID NCT07553689

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a cold atmospheric plasma device to standard wound care helps different types of wounds heal better. The device uses low-temperature plasma to kill bacteria and promote healing. Researchers will compare 500 patients who get plasma therapy plus standard care with 500 who get standard care alone, tracking healing rates, pain, and scarring for up to 6 months.

Active substance
Cold atmospheric plasma device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new, non-drug way to help wounds heal faster and with less pain.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. The device is still experimental and may not work for all wound types.
