Phoenixin levels and pain in children with burns
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at a protein called phoenixin in children with burns and how it relates to their pain. It may help doctors understand burn pain better and improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be younger than 18 and not yet started puberty.
- If your child has a burn, it must be a second-degree burn (for the acute group) or healed for at least 3 months (for the chronic group).

This study tests whether virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D world) can help reduce pain in children with burns, and looks at brain activity to find markers of pain relief. If your child is being treated for a burn in the hospital, they may be able to join.
This study tests how healthy adults respond to different types of pain, such as heat, cold, and a substance that causes a mild burning feeling. The results may help researchers better understand pain and could guide future pain treatments.
This study looks at how children and teens experience pain after surgery or during a bone marrow transplant. It aims to better understand acute pain, which is short-term pain that goes away as the body heals.
This study looks at how the brain processes pain in people who have had burn injuries. By understanding the brain's role, researchers hope to find better ways to treat long-term burn pain.
This trial compares three common pain relievers (paracetamol, ibuprofen, and metamizole) to see which works best for children with acute pancreatitis. It aims to help your child feel better faster with fewer side effects.
This trial tests if using a kaleidoscope can help distract children aged 7-12 from pain during burn dressing changes, in a setting where pain medicine is not usually given. The goal is to see if this simple tool can reduce pain without extra medication.
