Red light laser may tighten wounds – new study tests how
NCT ID NCT07177274
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how low-level laser therapy (red light at 660 nm) affects the stiffness of chronic and burn wounds. Researchers will measure stiffness before and after a 3-minute laser treatment using two devices: OCT and MyotonPRO. The goal is to see if laser therapy changes wound stiffness and how that compares to healthy skin. The study involves 20 adults with wounds that have lasted more than four weeks.
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 therapy (660 nm red light)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better understand how laser therapy affects wound healing and stiffness, potentially improving treatment plans.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 20 participants and no control group, so results may not apply widely. It measures stiffness, not healing itself.
