Paraffin Wax and Exercise for Burn Scar Recovery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding warm paraffin wax treatment before exercise helps people with burn scars move their joints better. If you have a burn scar that goes over a joint and your doctor already recommends rehab, this might be an option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a hands-on scar-stretching treatment can help improve scars and quality of life in children who have suffered moderate to severe burns on their arms. The goal is to see if the therapy reduces tightness and improves movement.
This trial tests if physical therapy can improve arm function after burns covering at least 10% of your body and requiring surgery. It may help you regain movement and strength in your burned arm.
This study compares adding shockwave therapy to standard rehabilitation for treating painful, itchy burn scars that are at least 6 months old. It aims to see if the combination is more cost-effective than rehab alone.
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 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 tests if resisted exercise can help improve insulin resistance in people who have recovered from severe burns. It may help those with second-degree burns on their upper body and trunk who are at risk for metabolic issues.
