BURN INJURY

This study tests whether a gel made from umbilical cord stem cells can help heal severe burns faster and more safely. About 90 adults with burns covering less than 30% of their body will receive either a low-dose, high-dose, or placebo gel on their donor skin site. The main goal …

This study tests whether giving antibiotics before burn surgery lowers the chance of infections after the operation. About 506 adults with burns covering 5% to 40% of their body will take part. Half will get antibiotics before surgery, and half will get a placebo. The goal is to …

This early-stage trial tests whether tacrolimus ointment (Protopic) can prevent deep partial-thickness burns from worsening. Researchers believe the drug may calm the inflammation that often makes burns deeper. The study will enroll 18 adults aged 50 to 75 with burns on their han…

This study tests whether playing an immersive virtual reality game during painful burn treatments (like dressing changes) can reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers. Fifty adult burn patients will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care alone or standard car…

This study compares two sedation approaches—dormicum-ketamine versus dexmedetomidine—to see which better prevents emergence delirium (confusion and agitation) in children aged 3 to 16 with burns. Sixty kids undergoing burn dressing changes or minor procedures will be randomly ass…

This study tests whether a relaxation technique called progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) — done with or without virtual reality (VR) — can ease chronic symptoms like pain, itch, anxiety, and sleep problems in adult burn survivors. About 34 participants will try both VR-enhanced…

This study tests whether wetting the skin can prevent dangerous rises in body temperature during exercise in hot conditions for burn survivors. Researchers will compare cooling methods in 40 adults, including those with and without burn injuries. The goal is to find a simple way …

This study looks at how a serious burn injury changes the way cells produce energy. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and tissue samples from 125 children and adults admitted to the burn center. No new treatments are tested; the goal is simply to learn more about the body's …

This study looks at how a simulated burn injury affects how quickly the body cools down after exercise in hot conditions. Researchers will compare the same person's recovery with and without a special material on the skin that mimics a burn. The goal is to understand if burn surv…

This study looks at whether using a blood test (anti-Xa) to adjust the dose of a blood thinner (enoxaparin) works better than dosing based on weight alone for preventing dangerous blood clots in burn patients. About 25 adults with serious burns will be enrolled. The goal is to se…
