Pressure therapy for burn survivors with amputations
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special pressure sleeve worn inside your prosthetic socket can help reduce scarring on your residual limb after a burn injury and amputation. If you already use a well-fitting prosthetic leg or arm, this trial may help improve your scar health and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years or older and have had a major amputation because of a burn injury.
- You have a permanent prosthetic limb with a socket (the part that fits over your residual limb).
- You have received all your final prosthetic parts, like a knee or foot.
- You can speak and understand English or French well enough to give your consent.
- You do not have skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis that could affect the study measurements.
- You do not have cognitive or psychiatric issues that would make it hard to follow the study procedures.

This study looks at how different positions and supports in hospital can reduce pressure on burn wounds. It may help you avoid getting additional pressure sores while you're being treated for your burns.
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.
This study compares two ways of treating scars on arms or legs: using a pressure garment alone versus using a pressure garment plus a silicone sheet. It aims to find out which works better and to build a more complete way to assess scar improvement.
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.
