Recruiting studies
- NCT06968559RecruitingPhase 3
Early steroid treatment for severe burns
This study tests whether giving a steroid called dexamethasone early after a severe burn can reduce serious complications and the risk of death. It is for adults on a breathing machine with large burns.
Chambray-lès-ToursAges 18–80 - NCT06966336Recruiting
Sleep and burn recovery study for adults
This study looks at how humidity affects sleep and work-rest cycles in people recovering from burns. It compares three groups: people without burns, those with moderate burns (20-40% of body), and those with large burns (over 40%). The goal is to understand how to improve recovery.

Hydrotherapy for balance after burn nerve damage
This trial tests if water therapy (hydrotherapy) can improve balance in people who have nerve damage in their feet after a leg burn. It may help you if you have trouble standing steadily due to a burn on the sole of your foot.
GizaAges 35–45 - NCT06828458Recruiting
Immune response to fungus in burn patients
This study looks at how the immune system fights fungus after a burn. It may help doctors understand which patients are at higher risk for infection and how to better protect them.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06814717RecruitingPhase 2
Study of cP12 for adults with small burns
This trial tests a new drug called cP12 given through a vein to see if it is safe and how the body handles it. It is for adults who have a thermal burn covering 10% or less of their body within the first 2 to 24 hours after the burn happened.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–65 - NCT06801626RecruitingPhase 3
New ways to reduce burn scar itch
This study tests new ways to reduce itching from burn scars. If you have a burn scar that itches and are between 18 and 79, you may be able to join and try a treatment that could help relieve the itch.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06745557RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new lab-grown skin patch for large burns
This trial tests a new skin patch made from your own cells to treat large, deep burns. It’s for people who need skin grafts and may help reduce scarring and improve healing.
LiègeAges 12 years+ - NCT06529757Recruiting
Skin wetting in burn survivors
This study tests how wetting the skin affects burn survivors and healthy volunteers. It may help find ways to manage body temperature or improve comfort during recovery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06487910Recruiting
3D-printed pressure garment for burn scars
This trial tests a custom 3D-printed pressure garment for healing burn scars that have become thick and raised. The goal is to see if it helps the scars heal better.
MetzAges 18 years+ - NCT06469970RecruitingPhase 2
Glucose distribution in severe burn patients
This study looks at how glucose moves in the body after a severe burn. It may help doctors better manage fluids and sugar levels in the first hours of treatment.
MetzAges 18 years+ - NCT06379724RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing medicines to control bleeding during burn skin grafts
This study compares two medicines—tranexamic acid and thrombin—to see which works better to stop bleeding during a burn skin graft. If you have a small burn (10% or less of your body) that needs a thin skin graft, this trial could help find a safer, faster way to heal.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06162052Recruiting
Home-based rehab with tech for burn recovery
This study tests a home-based rehab program that uses technology (like your phone or tablet) to help you recover from a burn injury. It focuses on burns that affect joints, and aims to improve your movement and healing.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–79 - NCT06104202Recruiting
Study on thinking patterns in burned-out healthcare workers
This study looks at certain thinking patterns (called early maladaptive schemas) in healthcare professionals who are experiencing burnout. It aims to understand how these patterns relate to burnout and may help improve care for burnout in the future.
ÉcullyAges 18 years+ - NCT05424354RecruitingPhase 4
Test powder dressing vs usual care for recent burn wounds
This study compares a transforming powder dressing to the standard dressing for partial-thickness burn wounds. It aims to see whether the powder dressing helps wounds heal better and safely when used soon after the burn.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT04292054RecruitingPhase 3
Antibiotics to prevent infection during burn skin graft surgery
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving preventive antibiotics lowers infection risk when you need surgery to remove burned skin and place a skin graft. It may help patients heal with fewer serious infections, but it also depends on your antibiotic allergy and current health status.
ParisAges 18–99 - NCT05819697Recruiting
Helping burning mouth symptoms with improved memory recall
This trial looks at ways to reduce how much people with burning mouth syndrome struggle to recall information during the study. If you qualify, you may be asked to complete study tasks and share saliva to support the research.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05673551Enrolling by invitation
VR during at-home burn dressing changes for kids
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can help children feel better during daily burn dressing changes at home. It will study comfort and pain around the first time you do dressings after leaving the hospital.
Columbus, OhioAges 6–17 - NCT01166893Recruiting
Imaging tests to measure burn healing and severity
This trial uses special imaging methods, including a laser-based technique, to judge how severe a burn wound is and how likely it is to heal. The goal is to see whether these scans can help doctors track burn healing more accurately.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 1 minute+ - NCT05275335Recruiting
Study how germs in burn wounds are best identified
This study compares two ways of finding germs (microbes) in burn wounds: traditional tissue swabs/cultures versus a newer DNA-based method. It may help improve how clinicians understand burn infections and tailor care.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT05000983RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test Plurogel skin gel versus standard burn dressings
This early-phase study tests whether Plurogel, a medicated skin gel, works better than the usual dressing care for certain burn wounds. It aims to improve healing in people who have partial-thickness face burns or one-sided limb burns that need hospital treatment.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT04893863RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Plurogel vs standard dressing for partial-thickness burn wounds
This trial compares Plurogel® to the usual topical dressing for people with partial-thickness burns on both limbs. It aims to see whether the new gel dressing improves healing for these burn injuries.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT04264065Recruiting
Albumin study in severe burn patients in ICU
This trial looks at whether giving or measuring albumin (a blood protein) can help predict outcomes for people with very severe burns in the ICU. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and guide care during the first day after injury.
Paris, FranceAges 18–80 - NCT03695887RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Disposable nitrous oxide for pain during burn dressing changes
This early-stage study tests whether using disposable nitrous oxide canisters can better control pain when you need burn dressing changes. It may help by making dressing changes more comfortable, but eligibility depends on your burn size, health, and breathing ability.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT01297400RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a topical treatment for thermal burns
This trial studies whether a topical medicine (MW-III) is safe and helps heal thermal burns. It is for adults with relatively limited burn size and certain burn depths, while excluding infected or high-risk wounds.
