NCT ID NCT05855499
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding cold plasma therapy to standard wound care helps heal large chronic leg ulcers faster. About 120 adults with non-healing wounds will receive either standard care alone or standard care plus a 4-week plasma treatment. The main goal is to see if the wounds shrink more with plasma therapy.
