Summary

This study tests whether a special laughing exercise, called Laughie, can help people with second-degree burns feel less pain and anxiety during dressing changes. About 88 adults will either do the laughing exercise or receive standard care before their bandage change. The goal is to see if laughter can make a painful procedure easier to handle.
