This study tests whether giving a numbing medicine (lidocaine) through an IV during and after burn surgery can help control pain better. If you qualify, you may receive this treatment to see if it reduces pain and helps you recover more comfortably.
This study tests whether giving magnesium sulfate through an IV can improve pain control and sedation during dressing changes for children with burns. It may help reduce the amount of ketamine needed and make the procedure more comfortable.
