COMS light therapy for chronic leg ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
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 study tests whether special wound dressings (called CAMPs) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster. If you have a hard-to-heal sore on your foot or leg, this trial may be an option.
This study compares several advanced wound treatments (called CAMPs) plus standard care to standard care alone for hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. It aims to see if the extra treatments help wounds close faster and prevent complications.
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 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.
