Camera imaging to assess recent burns
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a thermal burn (from flame, hot liquid, or contact with something hot) that is less than 3 days old when the study photos are taken.
- You have a burn on your head, neck, hands, or feet. (Burns only on the palms or soles do not count.)
- The burn covers at least 0.25% of your body's surface area (about the size of a small handprint).
- You are expected to live for more than 1 month, regardless of the burn.
- You do not have a serious infection at the burn site or body-wide infection (sepsis).
- You have not had chemotherapy, radiation, or immunosuppressive treatment in the last 3 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects tissue and blood samples from burn patients to improve a computer model that predicts sepsis (a severe infection). The goal is to help doctors identify and treat sepsis earlier in burn patients.
This trial studies whether a topical medicine (MW-III) is safe and helps heal thermal burns. It is for adults with relatively limited burn size and certain burn depths, while excluding infected or high-risk wounds.
This trial tests whether a “microsurfaced” donor-skin graft can heal deep burn wounds (partial- or full-thickness burns) after recent injury. It may help improve healing when the burn area is large enough and not infected.
This study tests a home-based rehab program that uses technology (like your phone or tablet) to help you recover from a burn injury. It focuses on burns that affect joints, and aims to improve your movement and healing.
This study tests a new way to help deep burns heal using a special skin substitute combined with your own skin cells. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for treating severe burns, potentially leading to better healing and less scarring.
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.
