Serial Casting Treatment for Burn Scars
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
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 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 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 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.
