This prospective clinical trial aims to investigate the organ protective effects of cetirizine in patients with severe burns.
Patients who have hypo-pigmented burn scar will have two scars chosen and randomized to treated scar and control scar. The subject will then have both scars treated with fractional ablative CO2 laser (FLSR). The treated scar will have bimatoprost delivered through the laser channels, while the control will have the vehicle (normal saline) only delivered. The treatment will continue for 14 days with twice daily application. The scars will then be monitored at a 2-week follow-up visit where levels of melanin will be evaluated. Tissue punch biopsies will also be used to evaluate the mechanism of action of bimatoprost. Treatment will occur for 6 sessions at 4-6 week intervals including follow- up visits and evaluations.
60 Patients with partial and full thickness thermal burns of the lower limb and trunk will be indiscriminately assigned to study group Group A(Study group): 30 patients received whole body vibration training on a vibration platform 12-15 minutes, 5 times per week, plus traditional physical therapy exercise program in the form of 60 minutes supervised exercise program for 8 weeks. Group B (control group):30 patients will receive a traditional physical therapy program. The program consists of 60 minutes of supervised stretching exercise to all involved joints followed by strengthening for affected muscles for 8 weeks.
Pain, itching, hypertrophic scar formation after wound healing in burn patients complications, sleep disturbances in patients, anxiety, depression, and daily life It may disrupt activities and deterioration in quality of life. Liquid petroleum jelly and olive oil have no side effects, moisturizing properties, or wound-healing treatment of burns due to their positive effects on symptoms such as itching. can be used to alleviate burns. The project found the use of liquid petroleum jelly and olive oil to determine the effect on itching and scarring in burn patients. After burns reduction of symptoms such as itching, dryness, hypertrophic scarring, and patient comfort. Provision of care is a part of nursing care. In studies, itching and scarring there is insufficient evidence regarding the treatment methods applied for its treatment is observed. In addition, the effect of olive oil and liquid petroleum jelly on itching and scarring no scientific study was found. The results of the project were found to be significant in terms of post-burn itching providing evidence of hypertrophic scar management and contributing to ongoing studies is expected to be found. Since there are no similar studies in the literature, a preliminary study with 24 patient applications will be made. In line with the data obtained from the pre-application, the sample calculation will be made and the application will continue by making the necessary arrangements. Patients will be divided into experimental and control groups by simple randomization. All patient groups individual data collection forms on the first day; 12 individual data collection forms on the first day, 15th day, first, second, and third months Itemized Itch Severity Scale, Patient and Observer Scar Scale to be applied in Burn Patients and the wound area will be photographed. Patients in the control group will be given no application will be made. Liquid petroleum jelly and olive oil group before the study training will be given and they will massage the recommended product twice a day for 3 months and will be asked to record them. The data obtained at the end of the project will be statistically analyzed and results will be presented.
The aim of the study is to compare the effect of Wii fit exercises and Pilates exercises on muscle strength and postural balance, and functional performance in adult patients with lower extremity burn.
Serum concentrations of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) significantly increased immediately upon burn trauma and remained significantly elevated for about three years. Resistance training has been shown to reduce the risk of insulin resistance, aminotransfer¬ase levels, dyslipidemia and impaired fasting glucose and can be beneficial for glucose-lipid metabolism.
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is characterized by a burning sensation on the tongue or other areas of the mouth, often bilateral but occasionally unilateral. It is more prevalent in postmenopausal women. No specific ethnic or socioeconomic predisposition has been identified. The etiology and pathophysiology of BMS remain unknown. Various treatment approaches have been proposed, yielding conflicting outcomes and underscoring the need for further investigation. Patients with BMS appear to respond well to long-term therapy involving systemic antidepressants and anxiolytics. The most promising therapeutic effects have been observed with clonazepam, which leads to a significant reduction in pain when applied topically or systemically. Capsaicin, an herbal remedy, also presents as an alternative treatment option, showing positive results in alleviating BMS symptoms when compared to a placebo. Photobiomodulation represents another non-pharmacological treatment possibility. It's analgesic action is possibly attributed to the inhibition of pain mediators. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is dietary supplement employed in BMS treatment. It serves as a potent antioxidant naturally produced within the body, contributing to the mitigation of skin aging and reinforcing the effects of other biological antioxidants. Based on these findings, attempts have been made to demonstrate ALA's effectiveness in BMS management, concluding that ALA may offer benefits in this context. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate, in adults with BMS, the impact of different therapeutic approaches on frequency, intensity, and location of pain, as well as on on quality of life.
Burn wounds are one of the most complexes and dramatic of all injuries, it produces a direct local tissue destruction and damage. In addition, burn wounds may continue to destroy tissue and muscles, exercise therapy stimulates the early expression of angiogenesis-related growth factors so it results in new vessel in-growth that improves blood supply, increases cell proliferation, accelerates tissue regeneration and healing and regain muscle strength
Background: The treatment of Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) presents a challenge in tailoring appropriate medication for individual patients. Antidepressants have demonstrated efficacy in alleviating symptoms in most cases; however, a subset of patients exhibit limited or no response to these treatments. The augmentation with pregabalin to conventional treatment has shown promising outcomes in relieving pain and improving quality of life in chronic pain conditions. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of vortioxetine with other antidepressants (SSRIs/SNRIs) in combination with pregabalin in a cohort of unresponsive BMS patients and to predict treatment response using clinical data. Methods: A 52-week randomized, open-label, active-controlled study was conducted, enrolling 203 BMS patients previously treated with one antidepressant for 12 weeks and non-responder to the treatment. The study sample have included two groups: Group A (136) received vortioxetine, while Group B (67) received SSRIs/SNRIs. Pregabalin (75mg/day) was added to both groups, with a potential dosage increase to 150mg/day for inadequate responders after 12 weeks. Treatment response was assessed by measuring reduction in VAS and SF-MPQ scores (>50 or 1-2) and HAM-A and HAM-D scores (>50% or ≤7) at 12, 24, 36 and 52 weeks. Classical logistic regression with a stepwise algorithm and Random Forest machine learning models were used to predict treatment response.
