This trial tests if special wound dressings (called cellular, acellular, or matrix-like products) can help heal severe pressure ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. It may be a good option if you have a stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcer on your lower back or tailbone area that's been there for at least a month.
This study tests whether shining a special light on diabetic foot ulcers can help them heal faster. It aims to find out if the treatment is safe and effective.
This study tests a painless light treatment (photobiomodulation) to see if it can prevent foot ulcers in people with type 2 diabetes who are at risk. If you qualify, you would receive the treatment regularly and be monitored for foot health.
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.
This study tests a special light therapy (called photobiomodulation) on diabetic ulcers to see if it helps them heal and is easy to use. If you have a diabetic ulcer that isn't infected, this treatment could be an option for you.
This trial tests light therapy (photobiomodulation) to see if it helps people with high blood pressure who still have trouble controlling it with medication. It is a short study looking at an acute effect.
