Cold Plasma Therapy refers to therapeutic and biomedical approaches that use cold plasma and its interactions with biological materials to achieve medical benefits. Cold plasma is a partially ionized gas in which electrons have been brought to a substantially higher energy state as a result of an electrical discharge into the gas. The overall gas remains at approximately room temperature.

Cold plasma can contain charged particles and reactive species, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as ozone and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) such as nitrogen monoxide, and, depending on the plasma system, ultraviolet (UV) radiation. These components can interact with microorganisms, surfaces, liquids, and biological materials.

Cold plasma can be generated using different technologies, including dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) systems and plasma jets. Its properties can vary depending on factors such as gas composition (typical examples are argon, helium, or atmospheric air), electrical power, exposure duration, and distance from the target. Depending on the system and application, plasma may be applied directly to a target or used to modify liquids, producing plasma-activated or plasma-treated liquids.

In scientific and biomedical contexts, Cold Plasma Therapy describes approaches that use cold plasma and its physical and chemical interactions with biological materials.
