Clinical Trial Summary

To investigate the effect of 10,600 nm CO2 laser combined with Zimmer Cryo 6 forced cold air device on the comfort and efficacy of patients with burn scars or post-operative linear scars, and to provide a safer, more effective and more satisfactory program for clinical treatment of burn scars or post-operative linear scars.


Description:

Objective: To investigate the effect of 10,600 nm CO2 laser combined with the cold-air cooling device Zimmer Cryo 6 on the comfort and efficacy of patients with burn scars or post-operative linear scars, and to provide a safer, more effective and more satisfactory program for clinical treatment of burn scars or post-operative linear scars. Secondary objective: To investigate the adverse effects of the cold-air cooling device Zimmer Cryo 6 in combination with the 10,600 nm CO2 fractional laser treatment for patients with burn scars or post-operative linear scars.

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
Cold-air cooling
Cryo 6 works with a compressor system like those in refrigerators and uses ambient air to generate a permanent stream of cold air with a maximum flow to 1000 L/min and a temperature as low as -30°C, depending on the cooling delivery system and the desired cooling level (range 1-9).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Scar area Analyze the scar pattern using Antera 3D software for Scar area (cm2). Baseline, 1 month after the 1st treatment, 1 month after the 2nd treatment, 1 month after the 3rd treatment
Other Scar color Analyze the scar pattern using Antera 3D software for scar color (CIE L*a*B*). Baseline, 1 month after the 1st treatment, 1 month after the 2nd treatment, 1 month after the 3rd treatment
Other Scar volume Analyze the scar pattern using Antera 3D software for scar volume (cm3). Baseline, 1 month after the 1st treatment, 1 month after the 2nd treatment, 1 month after the 3rd treatment
Other Scar melamin Analyze the scar pattern using Antera 3D software for scar melanin. Baseline, 1 month after the 1st treatment, 1 month after the 2nd treatment, 1 month after the 3rd treatment
Other Scar erythema Analyze the scar pattern using Antera 3D software for scar erythema. Baseline, 1 month after the 1st treatment, 1 month after the 2nd treatment, 1 month after the 3rd treatment
Other Satisfaction evaluation The patients were rated as very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, fair, satisfied, and very satisfied with the improvement of scars. 1 month after the 1st and the 3rd treatments.
Primary Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) is a numbered version of the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) in which the patient can select one number that best describes the pain. Scale from minimum "0" to maximum "10" for total 11 integers. "0" represents no pain, and "10" represents worst pain imaginable. Immediately after treatment
Secondary Skin temperature The skin temperature will be monitored and recorded by hand-held infrared thermometry. Baseline, immediately after treatment
Secondary Number of treatment interruptions The physician calculates the number of interruptions that the patient calls off during treatment. Immediately after treatment
