Serial casting for burn scars
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a treatment called serial casting can help flatten and soften raised burn scars. If you have two scars that are still red and thick, this study may offer a new way to improve their appearance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult who has had a burn injury.
- You have two burn scars that are still red and raised (with a redness score above 300 and thickness above 2.034 mm).
- The two scars must be similar in thickness (within 0.5 mm of each other).
- You can speak and understand English or French.
- You do not have scars from electrical or cold injuries, keloid scars, or mature (flat and pale) scars.
- You do not have skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis that could affect measurements, and you are able to understand and follow the study procedures.

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 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.
This study tests new ways to reduce itching from burn scars. If you have a burn scar that itches and are between 18 and 79, you may be able to join and try a treatment that could help relieve the itch.
This study tests whether a special electromagnetic field device can reduce itching in burn scars. If you have bothersome itchiness from an old burn scar, this treatment might help calm that itching.
This trial tests a custom 3D-printed pressure garment for healing burn scars that have become thick and raised. The goal is to see if it helps the scars heal better.
