Clinical Trial Summary

The study's objective is to compare the global scar outcomes in those treated with silicone only therapy (SOT) versus silicone pressure garment therapy (SPGT) for the prevention of hypertrophic scarring in children with skin grafts after traumatic skin injury.


Clinical Trial Description

The goals of this study are to:

1. Examine the difference between patient scores on the POSAS scale in those randomized to silicone pressure garment therapy (SPGT) versus silicone only therapy (SOT) for the prevention of hypertrophic scarring in children with skin grafts after traumatic skin injury at baseline, 8, 16, and 24 weeks.

2. Examine the difference between observer scores on the POSAS scale in those randomized to silicone pressure garment therapy (SPGT) versus silicone only therapy (SOT) for the prevention of hypertrophic scarring in children with skin grafts after traumatic skin injury at baseline, 8, 16, and 24 weeks.

3. Examine the difference between Vancouver scale in those randomized to silicone pressure garment therapy (SPGT) versus silicone only therapy (SOT) for the prevention of hypertrophic scarring in children with skin grafts after traumatic skin injury at baseline, 8, 16, and 24 weeks.

4. Examine the need for surgical intervention in those randomized to silicone pressure garment therapy (SPGT) versus silicone only therapy (SOT) for the prevention of hypertrophic scarring in children with skin grafts after traumatic skin injury. ;
