Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Non-thermal atmospheric plasma treatment
Device treatment
Non-thermal, atmospheric plasma treatment of affected area or lesions using a nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge plasma device
Experimental: Indirect non-thermal atmospheric plasma treatment
A compound of non-thermal atmospheric plasma and medium is used to treat the target by direct application or by on-site generation of the compound
A compound of non-thermal, atmospheric plasma and medium is delivered to or generated at the target area. Plasma is generated using either microsecond dielectric barrier discharge plasma device or PiezoBrush (a helium jet plasma). The medium is an aqueous alcohol solution

What is the study measuring?
