Compression and CO2 laser for lower leg wounds
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using leg compression and a CO2 laser after lower-leg wound surgery helps wounds heal better. You may be a candidate if you have a sizeable lower-leg wound that will be treated with a specific type of surgical healing plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 18 years old
- Your wound on the lower leg is at least 1 cm wide
- You will have skin removed from the lower leg (cut tissue away) as part of treatment
- Your surgeon plans to let the wound heal on its own without stitching it closed right away
- You can understand the study and are willing to sign a written consent form
- You can communicate with the study team and follow instructions

This study compares standard wound care to a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure therapy) after skin graft surgery on the lower leg for skin cancer. The goal is to see if the vacuum dressing helps the graft heal better.
This trial tests a light compression system for mixed leg ulcers, which are wounds on the lower leg that have both vein and artery problems. It may help you if you have this type of wound that is not too large or too old.
This trial tests a smart compression bandage that uses sensors to help heal venous leg ulcers. It may help people whose ulcers have not healed with standard compression therapy.
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy can reduce pain from chronic wounds that haven't healed after standard treatment. If you have a long-lasting wound with significant pain, this treatment might offer a non-drug option for pain relief.
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.
This study compares two types of lasers (a new DFG laser and a standard CO2 laser) to see which one causes less pain and helps your skin heal better after a fractional laser treatment on your thighs. If you're looking to improve skin texture or reduce signs of aging, this might be an option.
