Randomized Controlled Trial for Treatment of Pain and Assessment of Wound Healing in Chronic Venous Leg Ulcers Using Near Infrared Laser Therapy (NCT03716167)
Randomized Controlled Trial for Treatment of Pain and Assessment of Wound Healing in Chronic Venous Leg Ulcers
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The laser emits an infrared light that heats the skin and underlying tissues with the purpose of temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, as well as stiffness associated with arthritis. The laser also causes a temporary increase in blood flow. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether laser therapy can provide pain relief and speed the healing of venous leg ulcers.
