Scar Mobilization Therapy for Burned Children's Upper Arms
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between 8 and 13 years old
- Burn injury must be on the upper arm, shoulder, elbow, or wrist area
- Burn must be at least partial thickness (not just surface-level redness)
- Scar must be stable and ready for treatment (not newly injured)

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 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 trial looks at whether a type of “fractional” laser can improve burn scars. It focuses on scars that are healing well past the initial recovery phase and compares laser therapy as a scar-management option.
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy for children who have had a stroke. It tests whether adding special movement exercises to a commonly used therapy helps improve arm function better than the therapy alone.
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 trial tests a special massage technique on hand scars after flexor tendon surgery. It aims to improve scar flexibility and hand movement.
