Blue light to help heal burn donor sites
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if blue light therapy can help donor site wounds heal faster in adults with serious burns that need surgery. It compares the healing of two donor sites on the same patient.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have intermediate-deep burns covering more than 10% of your body
- You are at least 18 years old
- You will have surgery to remove the burn (escharectomy) and need at least two donor sites
- You or your legal guardian can understand and sign the consent form
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have a condition that makes your skin sensitive to light

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new medicine called KJ101 for healing deep second-degree burns. It may help close the wound faster and reduce scarring.
This trial tests a light-activated treatment for infected burn wounds. A blue dye is applied to the wound, and then light is used to activate it, with the goal of helping clear the infection.
This trial tests whether a “microsurfaced” donor-skin graft can heal deep burn wounds (partial- or full-thickness burns) after recent injury. It may help improve healing when the burn area is large enough and not infected.
This trial tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) helps heal stage II pressure ulcers (bedsores) more effectively in patients who are staying in the intensive care unit for at least two weeks. It is designed for people with stable health and normal blood levels.
This trial tests whether mesenchymal stem cells (a type of healing cell) can help burn wounds recover better when combined with skin grafting. The goal is to improve how well the grafted skin takes and heals.
This study tests a special camera that takes pictures of burns to help doctors see how deep they are. It is for people with recent heat burns on their head, hands, or feet, and aims to improve how doctors decide on treatment.
