Application of cold atmospheric plasma in pyoderma gangrenosum: a pilot study
The results of this pilot study suggest that CAP is a safe and well tolerated treatment option for PG, and may reduce wound pain over the course of treatment. There is evidence that CAP may have a beneficial effect on the status of the wound in PG. Double-blinded randomised controlled trials, including larger cohorts and outcome-oriented randomisation, are needed to further clarify the therapeutic potential of CAP in PG.
