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 trial tests a gel called FS2 applied after skin graft surgery for burns. It aims to see if the gel can help scars heal better and look less noticeable.
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 dupilumab (Dupixent) can help adults with long-lasting, severe itching from healed burn scars. It is for people whose itching has not improved with standard treatments like antihistamines.
This study compares two natural oils—liquid vaseline and olive oil—to see which one reduces itching and scarring better after a scald burn. You may qualify if you have a healed second-degree burn that no longer needs bandages.
This study tests whether a common antidepressant called amitriptyline, taken by mouth, can reduce harmful particles released after a small controlled burn injury to your skin. Researchers hope this might help prevent excessive scarring and aid healing.
