Photo-biomodulation Therapy versus Saline Dressing in Wound Healing: A Prospective Comparative Study

Background: The process of wound healing is a standard physiological reaction to injuries, often resulting in the restoration of normal function and structure in affected tissues. This work aimed to assess and compare the efficiency and safety of photo-biomodulation (PBM) therapy versus saline dressing in acute wounds.Methods: This prospective comparative randomized clinical work had been performed on 40 participants aged from 16 to 40 years old, both genders, with acute wounds. Patients were divided into two equal groups: Group A (PBM side): treated with diode laser and Group B (control side): treated with saline dressing.Results: Wound site, infection, size of the lesion at baseline and on 7th day were insignificantly different between both groups. Size of the lesion on the 14th day and duration of complete wound healing were significantly lower in group A than group B (P
