BURNS

This early-phase study tests whether a special dye (methylene blue) activated by blue light can safely reduce bacteria in burn wounds. About 50 adults with partial- or full-thickness burns will receive either the light treatment or light alone during two dressing changes. The goa…

This study tests a blood-filtering device called Efferon LPS in 50 people with severe burns. The goal is to see if it can reduce dangerous inflammation and prevent organ failure. Participants will either receive standard care or standard care plus the blood filter. The study focu…

This study tests whether adding a patient's own fat tissue under a standard skin graft can improve healing and reduce scarring after severe burns or traumatic wounds. About 68 adults with deep skin loss will receive either the new fat-plus-skin graft or a traditional skin graft a…

This study tests whether using a person's own fat, combined with a skin graft, can improve tight scars from burns or injury better than standard skin grafting alone. Forty adults with scar contracture will receive either the new fat-plus-skin method or the usual full-thickness sk…

This study tests an AI-powered imaging device called DeepView to see if it can accurately assess burn injuries on the hands, head, and feet. Researchers will collect images from people with burns in these areas to train and improve the AI system. The goal is to help doctors make …

This study tests a short, 4-session therapy for burn survivors and their caregivers to prevent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The therapy, called Promotion of Emotional Disclosure for Burns (PoED-B), helps patients and their loved ones communicate better about the traumati…

This study tests whether Frenkel exercises—slow, controlled movements to improve coordination—can help people with lower limb burns regain balance and improve their quality of life. Seventy adults aged 25 to 45 with second-degree thermal burns on their legs will be split into two…

This study tests a new treatment for burn scars on the chest, shoulders, and back. Doctors will take a small amount of fat from the patient's belly or thigh, process it into a liquid rich in healing cells, and inject it into the scar. The goal is to improve the scar's look, feel,…

This study looks back at medical records of about 1,400 burn patients treated at a hospital near a border. Researchers want to see if foreign-national patients have different outcomes, such as death rates or need for intensive care, compared to Turkish citizens. No new treatments…

This study will check if an Arabic version of the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire works well for people who have had hand burns. About 100 adults with second-degree burns on their dominant hand will fill out the questionnaire twice, one week apart. Researchers will see if th…

This study tests a new peer support program for adults recovering from serious injuries like car crashes, burns, or amputations. The program pairs survivors with trained peers who have been through similar experiences, offering support from hospital to home. The goal is to see if…

This study will use a special brain scanner to see how virtual reality (VR) affects pain in children aged 6-17 with burns. Four children will have their brain activity measured during burn dressing changes, both with and without VR. The goal is to find brain markers that show whe…
