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.
