Light therapy after nose surgery (rhinoplasty)
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether using red and infrared light therapy (called photobiomodulation) right after nose surgery can help you heal faster and reduce swelling, bruising, and pain. It is for people who are having a rhinoplasty and are otherwise healthy.

This study tests a light-based treatment called photobiomodulation (light therapy) given before and after facial plastic surgery to see if it helps recovery. If you are already scheduled for facial surgery, this could be an option to help your skin heal.
This study tests if a special light therapy can help prevent infections after sinus or nose surgeries. The treatment is given in addition to standard care and might lower the chance of needing more antibiotics.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test taken before nose surgery can help predict how much pain you might feel right after the operation. It does not involve any new treatments or medications.
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.
