First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a handheld nitrous oxide canister (laughing gas) can safely reduce pain and anxiety during burn dressing changes. About 30 adult burn patients will try both the gas and standard pain medicine in a crossover design. The goal is to find a safer alternative to high-dose narcotics, which can cause breathing problems.
