View clinical trials related to Second Degree Burns.
Filter by:Pain Associated with partial thickness burns (PTB) is very severe and distressing for the patients.Topical conventional treatment of superficial PTB wounds includes application of polyfax skin ointment plus lignocain gel twice a day after wound wash while deep PTB are treated with silvazine cream twice a day and prepared for grafting if not healed within 3 weeks. Existing conventional therapy is un-comfortable and expensive for the patients. Search continues for a reliable, safe, cheap and effective treatment of burn.Topical use of heparin has been found effective in reducing pain associated with burn wounds. More over use of heparin topically in burn patients is easy to perform and cheap but at the moment, evidence of its effectiveness is weak. Current study is being conducted to verify clinical effectiveness of use of heparin in 2nd degree burns by comparing it with topical conventional treatment.
It is well documented that following thermal burns injury the development of hypertrophic scars and keloid (HSK) ranges between 40 to 90%. on the other hand It is well documented that cryosurgery wounds generally heal with minimal tissue contraction, resulting in good cosmetic results and with minimal complications. The Aim of the study is To specify the burn and cryosurgery blister fluid for proteins, cytokines and cells and To compare between the above data regarding possible proteins, cytokines and cells, in regard to their possible effect on scarring and wound healing. Also to Identify those components which are present only in the cryosurgery blister and which might have an anti-scarring effect and to characterize them biochemically.
