Cold plasma for chronic wound healing
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a cold plasma treatment can help heal chronic wounds faster when standard treatments haven't worked. Cold plasma is a gentle gas-based therapy that may promote healing and reduce the risk of infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) to help heal chronic diabetic foot ulcers. It aims to see if this treatment can improve wound healing compared to standard care.
This study tests a special dehydrated human placenta tissue dressing for leg ulcers that won't heal. You will get either standard wound care plus this dressing, or standard care alone; later you may have the chance to receive the dressing.
This trial tests a special wound vacuum system with silver to treat chronic leg ulcers that show signs of infection. It aims to see if this dressing helps clean and heal wounds better.
This study tests a new device that delivers oxygen to the wound area (topical wound oxygen therapy) to help heal chronic leg ulcers caused by vein disease. It may help people who have not seen enough healing with compression therapy alone.
This study tests a gel made from a small sample of your own blood to help heal chronic leg ulcers that have not improved with standard care. The gel is applied to the wound and may help it heal faster.
This trial tests a new 'cold plasma' treatment (a gentle electrical gas) for diabetic foot or leg ulcers that have stopped healing. It aims to see if this therapy helps wounds heal better than standard wound care alone.
