Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine effects of laser therapy on blood flow and sweating responses in burn-injured skin.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a longitudinal study in which the effects of laser therapy on cutaneous vascular responses and sweating of the treated areas are assessed. Specifically, burn survivors who will undergo standard of care laser therapy to treat burn-related scars will perform whole-body heating and local heating procedures prior to the initiation of laser therapy, at an intermediate point during the laser therapy regimen, and upon conclusion of the laser therapy regimen. For this pilot investigation a placebo will not be incorporated. Primary outcome variables will be skin blood flow and sweating responses from skin treated with laser therapy and adjacent untreated/uninjured skin. ;
