View clinical trials related to Burns.
Filter by:The aim of this project was to determine the effect of the burn prevention and first aid mobile application developed for families living in tent cities and container houses after the earthquake on the burn prevention and first aid knowledge of families and the development of burns in the first two months after the mobile application. The research was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled trial. The study population will consist of families living in tent cities and container houses in Şanlıurfa. As a result of the power analysis performed in the G*Power program, the sample group will consist of 30 families from the tent city and 30 families from the container city, taking into account the losses with a power of 90% and a maximum bidirectional 5% type error. All of the families (30 mobile application-study group; 30 control group) who make up the sample of the research will be given a training (powerpoint presentation) prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, and burn prevention and first aid practices will be explained and their questions will be answered. Then, the training to be given with the mobile application will be downloaded to the phones of the families in the experimental group and the training will continue through the application. In the study, data will be collected with the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Information Form on Burn Prevention and First Aid" and "Burn Development Follow-up Form", which include the descriptive information of the families. The data obtained from the study will be analyzed in computer environment.
The study mainly focuses on pain management using 10- or 20mg oxycodone burn wound dressing at Poznan University of Medical Sciences.
his study is being done to collect pictures of burns using an investigational device called the Spectral MD Deep View Snapshot Handheld (DV-H), similar to a camera. The data collected will be used to assess the performance of the DV-H device, and to determine the device's ability to differentiate healing versus non-healing burn tissue. This device, if approved, is expected to give caregivers a better understanding of what parts of burn wounds will likely not heal on their own and as a tool used by the military in the field. This current study involves the collection of images over the course of your clinical treatment and follow-up according to your routine standard of care. The device will not be used to diagnose or prescribe treatment for your burn
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a syndrome characterized by burning and persistent oral pain, ranging from mild to intense, in the absence of organic disorders of the oral cavity and with a major impact on the quality of life of the sufferer. Although several etiological theories have been proposed to explain BMS, none has been universally accepted to date, and its origin remains unclear. Currently, several scientific evidences would suggest that underlying BMS would be alterations in certain neuropathic mechanisms. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Diazepam 1% oral gel in the treatment of burning mouth syndrome.
Introduction: Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a pathology with a low prevalence, affecting between 0.1% and 3.7% of the general population, the ratio between women and men is between 3 and 7:1. It is clinically characterized by a burning pain sensation, recurrent daily for more than 2 hours a day, persistent for more than 3 months and in a way that increases throughout the day and decreases at night, without presenting clinically evident causal lesions on the surface of the oral mucosa, nor changes in clinical sensory tests. The description of the symptomatology varies according to the patient and may be related especially to psychogenic factors. Patients report dry mouth/xerostomia and taste alterations, such as metallic or bitter taste. The most frequent location is on the tongue (tip and lateral borders), but it can also include the anterior palate, gingiva and lips. Since the etiopathogenic factors that produce BMS are not clear, it is difficult to make advances in therapy. The available treatments aim to control the multiple factors related to BMS, thus reducing the symptoms described by patients. Among them, the literature describes low level laser photobiomodulation. The success of the use of low level lasers for treatments in oral medicine is due to their biomodulatory activity and their ability to penetrate tissues. The analgesic action of laser radiation is due to the inhibition of nociceptive mediators and the release by the Central Nervous System (CNS) of endogenous analgesic substances such as endorphins, which hinders the transmission of the painful stimulus. It has been verified that low power laser radiation therapy can be effective in reducing symptoms in patients with BMS. Importantly, low power laser therapy is non-invasive, well tolerated by patients. Objectives: To confirm the hypothesis that the application of low power laser in the areas of oral burning can improve the symptomatology of BMS. Material and methods: We propose a clinical study in 38 patients with idiopathic BMS, prospective, randomized, double-blind. The study universe will be constituted by patients attended at the Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery and Implantology Unit of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), quality of life (OHIP-14) and subjective sensation of dry mouth xerostomia inventory (XI) questionnaires will be applied to all the patients, and the amount of saliva will be quantitatively determined by means of the unstimulated global saliva test (TSG-I) using a millimetric absorbent paper strip, at the beginning, at the end of treatment and at the re-evaluation at two and six months.
Introduction: The management of patients with chronic burning mouth is a challenge in clinical dentistry. Objective: To compare the effect of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in the treatment of burning mouth. Materials and Methods: Randomized clinical trial consisting of 25 patients with burning mouth who were treated by TENS (n=12) and by LLLT (n=13). Treatment was carried out weekly for 8 weeks. Two-way ANOVA was used to verify whether there was a significant difference between times T0 (baseline), T1 (after the 4th treatment session), T2 (after the 8th treatment session) and T3 (30 days after the end of treatment) in in relation to symptoms, analyzed using the Visual Analog Scale, unstimulated salivary flow, xerostomia and dysgeusia with TENS and LLLT interventions.
90 patients who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome and postural imbalance following Lower Limb Burn Injury. will be selected from outpatient clinic, faculty of physical therapy, Cairo university. Patients will be assigned randomly into 3 groups of equal numbers, group A: (Study group A) will receive Baduanjin Qigong exercise plus selected exercise program. group B:(Study group B) will receive Baduanjin Qigong exercise, Group C (control group C) will receive selected exercise program .
The goal of this observational study is to determine the blood values of NGF in severely burned patients, to describe any changes over time and finally to correlate the expression of NGF to the severity of the burn. The main question it aims to answer is: - describe NGF values in severely burned pediatric patients and to evaluate their correlation with the severity of the burn and the extent of the burned skin surface by measuring the circulating levels of NGF in pediatric patients. Participants will undergo blood sampling on days 2,7,14 and 30 after the traumatic event for the clinical follow-up envisaged by the internal protocol.
Inhalation of toxic gases and chemical irritants during the fire leads to damage to the respiratory tract or the alveolar tissue, which is known as smoke inhalation injury. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is associated with smoke inhalation injury. These patients usually need physiotherapy in the form of chest mobilization and breathing exercises for up to 4 to 6 weeks after discharge from the burns care centre. The patients during this phase are usually in pain and extremely anxious about these exercises. Virtual reality distraction (VRD) is one such technique that is gaining immense popularity recently, it has more immersive distraction when compared to traditional distraction techniques. This study aims to investigate the effect of a virtual reality distraction (VRD) technique as a pain alleviation tool for reducing pain during physiotherapy in burns patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a hospital setting.
Frailty is a condition of a reduced physiological reserve and is associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the impact of preoperative frailty index (CFI) on 90-day mortality after a burn surgery.
