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.

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 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 a special electromagnetic field device can reduce itching in burn scars. If you have bothersome itchiness from an old burn scar, this treatment might help calm that itching.
This trial tests whether a treatment called serial casting can help flatten and soften raised burn scars. If you have two scars that are still red and thick, this study may offer a new way to improve their appearance.
This trial tests a new combination treatment using platelet-rich fibrin (a concentrate from your own blood) and a fractional CO2 laser to improve the look and texture of burn scars. If you have a mature, small burn scar, this could help soften and flatten it.
This trial tests if combining a special laser with a skin-lightening medicine can safely reduce dark marks from old burn scars.
