Disposable nitrous oxide for pain during burn dressing changes
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult burn patient treated at Health Sciences Centre
- Your burn area must be 5% to 20% of your total body surface
- You must not be admitted to the intensive care unit
- You must be able to participate in the pain and measurement questions (not too sedated, able to understand English)
- Your breathing and heart health must allow safe use of nitrous oxide

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during dressing changes can help reduce pain and anxiety for adults with burn injuries. If you have moderate to severe pain during dressing changes, this approach might offer extra comfort without extra medication.
This trial tests if an inhaled pain medicine called methoxyflurane can quickly reduce severe pain from injuries in adults before they reach the hospital. Paramedics will give the medicine to patients who have significant pain from trauma and are stable enough to travel.
This study tests if using a simple distraction technique (like a kaleidoscope) during burn dressing changes can help reduce pain in children. It is for children ages 5 to 12 with a small burn who are not taking strong pain medicine.
This trial tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset during burn dressing changes can help reduce pain and fear in children. It may offer a drug-free way to make the procedure more comfortable for your child.
This trial tests a low-dose ketamine infusion during burn wound dressing changes to see if it reduces pain. It might help people who are hospitalized with a thermal burn injury.
This study compares two pain-relief methods—nitrous oxide gas (laughing gas) and lidocaine numbing cream—to see which works better when doctors need to place a needle in your vein. If you've never used nitrous oxide before and are generally healthy, you may be a good fit.
