NCT ID NCT07552753
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study followed 24 children with fingertip amputations who were treated with a semi-occlusive dressing, a type of bandage that keeps the wound moist. Researchers tracked pain levels using a pain diary and measured finger healing, including length loss and movement. The goal was to see how well this routine care works for pain and recovery in young patients.

- Active substance
- semi-occlusive dressing
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that semi-occlusive dressings are a good standard care option for managing pain and supporting healing in children with fingertip amputations.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 24 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply to all children or prove the dressing is better than other treatments.
