Light therapy to prevent infection in bone-anchored prosthesis patients
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new light-based treatment (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) to prevent infections in patients who have a prosthesis anchored directly into their bone (osseointegrated prosthesis). If you have one of these devices and are 18 or older, this study may help keep you infection-free.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a prosthesis that is anchored into your bone (osseointegrated prosthesis).
- You must not have an active infection right now.
- You must not be pregnant.
- You must be able to follow the study procedures and come to follow-up 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 trial tests a light-based treatment (photodynamic therapy) combined with a special gel dressing for chronic wounds that haven't healed after at least 3 months of standard care. It may help close the wound and reduce infection.
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 study tests a light-based treatment (photodynamic therapy) for fungal nail infections. It may help clear the infection without oral medication.
This study tests a home-use light therapy device that uses two types of light to reduce gum inflammation around dental implants. It may help people with peri-implant mucositis, a common condition where the gums around implants become swollen and bleed.
This trial tests a new way to deliver antibiotics directly into bone at the site of limb amputation surgery to prevent or treat infections. If you've had amputation surgery with an osseointegration implant (a special anchor placed in your bone), this study may help keep your surgical site healthy.
