Ultrasound to predict lasting pain from burn scars
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound imaging to look at burn scars and see if they can predict which patients will have long-term pain. It may help doctors better understand and treat burn pain in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether using ultrasound to gently stimulate specific nerves can reduce chronic pain. It may help people whose pain hasn't been relieved by other treatments.
This study looks at how the brain processes pain in people who have had burn injuries. By understanding the brain's role, researchers hope to find better ways to treat long-term burn pain.
This trial uses special imaging methods, including a laser-based technique, to judge how severe a burn wound is and how likely it is to heal. The goal is to see whether these scans can help doctors track burn healing more accurately.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (immersive computer experiences) can help manage pain in people with burn injuries. It’s for burn patients who can safely participate without heavy sedation or certain mental health or substance-use issues.
This study tests a special camera that takes pictures of burns to help doctors see how deep they are. It is for people with recent heat burns on their head, hands, or feet, and aims to improve how doctors decide on treatment.
This study tests whether a pulsed dye laser can help manage fresh burn scars as they heal. You may be a good match if you have a new burn scar and meet skin and health requirements, and if your scar type isn’t likely to form keloids.
