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
