Laser therapy for pain relief from chronic wounds
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy can reduce pain from chronic wounds that haven't healed after standard treatment. If you have a long-lasting wound with significant pain, this treatment might offer a non-drug option for pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a chronic wound that hasn't shrunk by at least 20% after 2 weeks of standard treatment.
- You have wound-related pain rated at least 4 out of 10 on a pain scale at the time of dressing removal.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.
- You do not have any conditions or are not taking any medications that would make laser therapy unsafe (e.g., cancer in the wound, certain skin products, or photosensitivity).
