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.
