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 study tests a new type of wound dressing made from a special gel to help heal medium-sized burn wounds that need skin grafts. Researchers want to see if this dressing helps burns heal better and reduces scarring.
This trial tests whether a blue dye (methylene blue) applied directly to burn wounds and activated with light can help fight infection. It's designed for people with moderate to deep burns that will require several dressing changes.
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 an experimental medicine for people with small burns (10% or less of body surface). It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps healing. The study has two phases: one for people getting skin grafts, and another for recent dermal burns.
