Imaging tests to measure burn healing and severity
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a burn wound and are currently an inpatient or outpatient
- You can lie flat and stay still long enough for the imaging tests
- If you can become pregnant, you must not be pregnant during the study
- You are able and willing to have laser/speckle imaging done on your burn area

This is a pilot research study that uses a non-invasive skin imaging technique to look at skin details using multiphoton microscopy. It may help researchers improve how skin is studied, without needing surgery or injections in most cases.
This study tests a special camera that takes pictures of burns to help doctors see how deep they are. It is for people with recent heat burns on their head, hands, or feet, and aims to improve how doctors decide on treatment.
This trial looks at whether a type of “fractional” laser can improve burn scars. It focuses on scars that are healing well past the initial recovery phase and compares laser therapy as a scar-management option.
This study tests a new special camera that shines a safe light on the skin to take detailed pictures of tissue, like the breast, without surgery. It aims to see how well this technique works in healthy people, which could help doctors in the future.
This study uses thermal imaging (a camera that detects heat patterns on skin) to predict how well skin wounds will heal after surgery to remove suspicious or cancerous skin lesions. The goal is to identify which patients might have healing problems early so doctors can provide extra care.
This study uses a thermal imaging camera (a heat-sensing picture) to help doctors assess chronic ulcers and track how they heal over time. It may help identify differences in blood flow and healing patterns, supporting better wound care.
