Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the effect of virtual reality on pain and clinical outcomes during hydrotherapy for children with burn.
Background: - Burn injuries always leave behind some permanent marks on the body of a victim. For the treatment of these scars, digital photography along with scar scales instrument are an important instrument for the patient's evaluation and finally for the follow-up of scars. Clinical evaluation of the patient after the use of Platelet concentration that it is a beneficial treatment which affects both on hard and soft tissues healing because of having growth factors deposited in PRP. Therefore, it can be used as an alternative to surgery which promotes safe and natural healing in such patients. Objectives: - 1. To determine the efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma plus fat grafting as compared to fat grafting alone on the Vancouver scar scale. Methodology: - An experimental controlled comparison trial study will be done on burn patients, admitted for recovery at the Plastic surgery department, Civil Hospital Karachi after the approval of the scientific committee and Institutional review board of Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi. The study participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria giving consent will be randomly divided into two groups, one group will receive only fat grafting whereas another group will receive Platelet Rich Plasma plus fat grafting. The sample size of the study will be 52(26 in each group). Both the groups will be followed initially for 15 days of two visits then monthly two visits and finally after 6 months. Assessment of scar with Vancouver Scars Scale (VSS) will be done. The association of the PRP plus fat cells group and control group will be done by applying Chi-square statistical test. P-Value will be set for statistical significance level at <0.05.
The purpose of this study if to evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic antibiotics given during surgery in reducing the concentration of bacteria in a burn wound after surgery.
This is an open-label follow up study to evaluate the safety for the subjects with ALLO-ASC-DFU treatment in phase 2 clinical trial (ALLO-ASC-BI-201) for 23 months.

Different medical treatments are available for treatment of skin burns such as skin grafts and silver sulfadiazine ointment. These treatments are used for second degree burn as routine technique in burns units. Cell therapy is a new approach for treatment of skin disease.In this study we use autologous epidermal cell suspension to achieve better cosmetic and functional results in treatment of second degree burn.
The relationship of body function, participation and quality of life in patients with burn: A longitudinal study
Procedural pain is the most intense and often undertreated pain associated with burn injuries. The use of analgesics does not always provide optimal relief and is accompanied by several side effects. Indeed, children with burn injuries still experience severe pain intensity during procedures despite the fact that doses of analgesics used with this population has almost doubled in the last twenty years. Current guidelines on pediatric procedural pain management recommend the combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions to enhance pain management and decrease the numerous side effects of analgesics. Distraction has been identified among the most effective non-pharmacological interventions for pain as it diverts the child's attention to an attractive element, hindering the perception of the painful stimuli. Virtual reality (VR) is a method of active distraction that offers the child a multi-sensory immersive interaction that found many applications for pain management in adult patients. However, very few studies have tested the efficacy of distraction by virtual reality on procedural pain and anxiety in children with burn injuries. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a virtual reality prototype developed specifically for the hydrotherapy room of children under seven years old for the relief of procedural pain and anxiety in children with burn injuries. HYPOTHESES: a) VR distraction is a feasible non-pharmacological intervention for pain management during hydrotherapy, b) VR distraction combined with analgesics is more efficacious than standard treatment (analgesics alone) on procedural pain and anxiety (hydrotherapy) of young children with burn injuries.
This study is designed to find additional methods to reduce pain during wound care. In this study the investigators use virtual reality (a form of distraction) in addition to pain medication during a burn wound care.
Using virtual reality as a form of distraction for pain during wound care. Virtual reality involves looking into a set of goggles and then moving through a computer-simulated world.
