About this trial

This study aims to investigate whether specialized red-blue light irradiation facilitates faster postoperative recovery and reduces complication rates in patients following perianal abscess surgery. A total of 222 eligible patients were randomly allocated equally into three groups (74 per group):①Routine Care Group: Standard wound care including cleansing and dressing changes;②Red Light Therapy Group: Routine care plus red light phototherapy;③Combined Red-Blue Light Therapy Group: Routine care plus concurrent red and blue light phototherapy.Wound healing time and incidence of complications were compared to assess postoperative recovery across interventions. The primary hypothesis posits that adjunctive phototherapy-particularly combined red-blue light irradiation-will significantly enhance wound healing, reduce edema and pain, and decrease complication rates (e.g.bleeding, urinary retention) compared to routine care alone.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Wound healing time

Defined as 100% re-epithelialization assessed by blinded evaluator.

Time frame
Measurements were taken over a time frame of 24 hours postoperatively to complete epithelialisation.

Secondary outcomes

1

Postoperative pain intensity

Assessed at rest and during defecation.Numerical Rating Scale will be used,patients are asked to choose a whole number (integer) from 0 to 10 that best describes their pain.0 usually means "no pain."10 means "the worst pain imaginable."

Time frame
Baseline, Day 1, 3, 5, 7, and Day 14±2
2

Peripheral tissue edema(Grade 0-3)

* Grade 0 (None): No edema. * Grade 1 (Mild): Mild edema with slight swelling around the incision; skin folds remain clearly visible. * Grade 2 (Moderate): Moderate edema with pronounced swelling around the incision; skin folds are indistinct. * Grade 3 (Severe): Severe edema with marked swelling around the incision; skin folds are obliterated.

Time frame
Day 1, 3, 5, 7, and Day 14±2
3

Assessment of Granulation Tissue in Wound Bed

* Grade 0 (Absent): No granulation tissue present. * Grade 1 (Poor): Minimal, pale, and friable granulation tissue with easy bleeding. * Grade 2 (Fair): Moderate amount of granulation tissue; pinkish-red in color but remains somewhat friable. * Grade 3 (Good): Healthy, abundant granulation tissue filling the wound bed; beefy red in color and firm to the touch, with minimal bleeding.

Time frame
Day 1, 3, 5, 7, and Day 14±2
4

Length of hospital stay

Measured in hours with standardized discharge criteria.

Time frame
From surgery end to discharge (up to 7 days)
