Clinical Trial: Personalized Interactive Laser Therapy of Port Wine Stain

Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Personalized Interactive Laser Therapy of Port Wine Stain - Study 2

Brief Summary: Lasers are being used to treat Port Wine Stains (PWS), but the laser doesn't always work. Only about 10% of PWS can be completely cleared. The research team believes that the investigators can improve the response of PWS to laser therapy by using a computer program that the principal investigator of this study (Dr. Shafirstein PhD) has developed. The purpose of this study is to test the validity of this computer program. Personalized Interactive Laser Therapy (PILT) could significantly improve clinical outcomes of laser treatment of PWS.

Detailed Summary:

Current Primary Outcome: Average Laser Setting to be Used to Treat Port Wine Stains as Measured by Mathematical Calculations Based on Imaging and Temperature Analysis of Malformation. [ Time Frame: Three treatments up to one year, whichever is first ]

6 subjects were enrolled but no data was ever collected due to early termination of the study due to the PI's relocation.
