Cold plasma during groin surgery to prevent wound issues
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a special cold plasma treatment applied during surgery in the groin to see if it helps reduce wound healing problems after surgery for blocked leg arteries. It may benefit people at higher risk for wound complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You are having surgery in the groin area to improve blood flow to your leg.
- You have increased risk for wound healing problems (e.g., diabetes, smoking, obesity, kidney failure, or prior groin surgery).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have an active infection in the leg or are not taking antibiotics for infection.
- You have not used special adhesive drapes or sealing agents during surgery, and won't have a vacuum dressing after.

This study looks at whether using leg compression and a CO2 laser after lower-leg wound surgery helps wounds heal better. You may be a candidate if you have a sizeable lower-leg wound that will be treated with a specific type of surgical healing plan.
This study tests a treatment that uses plasma (a part of your blood) to improve the look and feel of scars. It may help reduce symptoms like itching or pain and make scars less noticeable.
This trial tests a new approach to treat severe, hardened blockages in the leg arteries. It may help people with painful leg symptoms or wounds that won't heal.
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.
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.
This study tests whether adding cold atmospheric plasma treatment to standard care helps heal foot ulcers in people with diabetes who have recently had a procedure to open blocked leg arteries. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and more effective than current care alone.
