Study of pulsed dye laser for new burn scars
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a pulsed dye laser can help manage fresh burn scars as they heal. You may be a good match if you have a new burn scar and meet skin and health requirements, and if your scar type isn’t likely to form keloids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a burn scar (new scar, not fully healed for a long time)
- You live in Winnipeg, Manitoba
- Your burn scar is between 1 and 6 months old
- Your skin is types I to III (lighter skin tones; confirm with study staff)
- Your burn area does not have an open wound
- You do not have a current infection in the scar area

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 whether a gentle, non-invasive treatment called pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) can reduce intense itching from old burn scars. It's for people who have had a burn scar for at least 3 months and still have strong itching.
This trial tests a gel called FS2 applied after skin graft surgery for burns. It aims to see if the gel can help scars heal better and look less noticeable.
This study tests whether repeated casting (a molding technique) can improve the appearance and texture of thick, red burn scars. If you're a burn survivor with prominent scars, this trial may help reduce their redness and thickness.
This trial compares two treatments—pulsed high-intensity laser and shockwave therapy—to see which works better for reducing thick burn scars. You may join if you have a hypertrophic scar from a burn and are otherwise healthy.
This study tests a combination of platelet-rich fibrin (a healing substance from your own blood) and fractional CO2 laser therapy to improve the look and feel of burn scars that have fully healed. It is for people with mature, moderate-sized burn scars.
