Table 1. Studies on the Effect of Blue Light Therapy on Wound Healing in Humans .

First Author, Publication Year Probable Disease; Type and Location of Wound BLT Parameters Main Results and/or Conclusions Methodological Quality of Study
Fraccalvieri, 202221 90 Patients with vascular or non-healing surgical dehiscence ulcers BLT, range of wavelength between 410-430 nm, 60 seconds, 120 mW/cm2; 7.2 J/cm2, weekly treatment. BLT plus standard care of ulcers accelerated new epidermal cell formation in ulcers of lower limbs by 2.5 months. 50%; randomization and blinding were not mentioned.
Dini, 202122 20 Patients with ulcers (12 patients with venous foot ulcers, 6 patients with skin vasculitis, 2 patients with traumatic ulcers) resistant to regular therapy. BLT, range of wavelength between 400 - 430 nm, 120 mW/cm2. BLT encouraged wound healing, improved WBS, and decreased soreness in patients. 50%; randomization and blinding were not mentioned.

All light was radiated from LED devices.

Abbreviations: WBS, wound bed score; BLT, blue light therapy.
