Near-infrared laser for healing and pain in leg vein ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a near-infrared laser can improve healing and reduce pain in chronic venous leg ulcers. If you qualify, you may receive laser treatment and will be checked over time for wound healing and pain levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your ulcer is from vein problems in the lower leg (venous insufficiency)
- The ulcer has been present more than 4 weeks and is between 5 and 140 square centimeters after cleaning
- Your blood flow test is strong enough, with an ankle-brachial index (ABI) over 0.8
- Your pain score is at least 2 out of 10 on a visual pain scale at the start
- You are able to avoid certain treatments/conditions during the study (see questions)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people with a healing or healing-worsening leg ulcer caused by weak veins (venous reflux). It may help improve care for this common type of ulcer and reduce time to healing by testing an approach for venous ulcers.
This study tests a new gel that may help heal leg ulcers caused by poor vein circulation. The gel is applied directly to the wound and aims to trigger natural healing processes in the skin.
This study tests a special light therapy called COMS to help heal chronic leg ulcers. It is for people with venous leg ulcers or mixed ulcers also involving artery disease, and aims to see if the treatment improves wound closure.
This trial tests whether a special gel helps heal venous leg ulcers faster. It is for people with a diagnosed vein problem and a leg ulcer between 2 and 12 square centimeters that has been present for at least 4 weeks.
This trial tests a skin graft (called NeoThelium FT) to see if it helps heal venous leg ulcers faster when used with standard compression therapy. It might help you if you have a hard-to-heal leg ulcer that hasn't improved much with usual care.
This study tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help heal leg ulcers caused by weak veins. If you have a non-infected venous leg ulcer that's been present for at least 6 weeks, this treatment might speed up healing.
