Burns Clinical Trial - The Effect of Cold Gel Pack Application on Itching

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Burn is a serious trauma that causes acute damage to the skin and subcutaneous tissues due to the effect of heat, electricity, radiation, physical, and chemical substances. It has been reported that the incidence of itching is high in burn patients during the maturation stage of wound healing. The literature suggests that in managing the symptom of itching, skin hydration support along with cold application methods can also be used. The integrity of the skin, the duration, frequency, characteristics, areas of itching, and identifying conditions that increase or decrease itching are important for managing itching. This study is planned to be conducted with a randomized controlled design to examine the effect of applying cold gel packs to burn areas of burn patients during the maturation stage on itching. This researcher's hypothesis is that burn patients who applied cold gel packs to burn areas during the maturation phase had lower itching severity (frequency, duration, intensity) than those who did not.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients will be assigned to one of two groups according to the block randomization list, given a sequence number according to the date and time of admission. In addition to the clinical routine application, cold gel pack application will be applied to the patients in Group 1, and the clinical routine application will continue for those in Group 2. To collect data, the Patient Diagnosis Form developed by the researcher in line with literature information, the Visual Analog Scale for Itching, the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool and the 12-Item Itching Severity Scale, whose validity and reliability analysis has been conducted, will be used. Calculation of the sample size of the study was made with the G.Power (v3.1.7) computer program. In the study of Joo et al., a total of 26 patient samples were used to represent the universe, assuming that the difference in two independent groups was considered statistically significant according to the itching degree averages of burn patients (α = 0.05 significance level and 95% power). During the research process, it was decided to include a total of 60 individuals in the sample, with 30 patients in Group-1 (Experiment) and 30 patients in Group-2 (Control), taking into account possible losses. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
