Blue light may speed healing of burn graft donor sites
NCT ID NCT07453927
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding blue light therapy to standard wound care helps donor sites (the area where healthy skin is taken for grafting) heal faster in burn patients. About 25 adults with deep burns will have two donor sites: one treated with standard care alone, the other with standard care plus blue light. Researchers will compare healing time, pain, infection signs, and scar quality.
