Light therapy to prevent infections in bone-anchored prostheses
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a special light therapy applied around your prosthetic limb attachment to prevent infections. It is for people who already have an osseointegrated prosthesis and do not currently have an infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have an osseointegrated prosthesis (a prosthetic limb that is attached directly to your bone).
- You must not have an active infection at the prosthesis site.
- You must not be pregnant.
- You must be able and willing to follow study procedures and attend follow-up visits.

This study tests giving antibiotics directly into the bone where a prosthetic limb is attached, to see if it helps treat or prevent infections at the surgical site. It is for adults who have had an amputation and are now concerned about an infection where the implant meets the bone.
This study tests a home-use light therapy that kills bacteria to treat inflammation around dental implants. If you have implant-related gum disease, this could help reduce bleeding and swelling without needing extra clinic visits.
This trial tests if a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy) can help treat infection and inflammation around dental implants without surgery. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate peri-implantitis who don't smoke and have healthy gums otherwise.
This study tests a special light-activated treatment (antibacterial photodynamic therapy) to fight infection around dental implants. It may be an option for people with moderate to severe implant-related gum disease who are not smokers and do not have diabetes.
This trial tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help reduce pain and speed healing after total knee replacement. If you're having knee replacement and don't have complications like infection or open wounds, you may be eligible.
This trial tests a low-cost light therapy to treat precancerous mouth lesions (moderate to severe dysplasia or carcinoma in situ) that are at least 10 mm. The treatment uses a special light to destroy abnormal cells, possibly avoiding surgery.
