NCT ID NCT06709781
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether spraying water on the skin can help burn survivors keep their body temperature down during exercise in hot conditions. Researchers compared core and skin temperature changes in 31 participants (burn survivors and healthy controls) while they exercised with and without water spray. The goal is to find simple ways to reduce heat stress and cardiovascular strain in people with healed burns.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Water spray (skin wetting)
What this could lead to
If effective, skin wetting could become a simple way to help burn survivors exercise safely in hot conditions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 31 participants, so results may not apply to all burn survivors. The intervention is just water spray, not a new drug or therapy.
