Can ultrasound predict which burn scars will hurt for months?
NCT ID NCT07438769
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether early ultrasound scans of burn scars can predict which patients will have persistent pain 3 to 6 months later. Researchers will measure scar thickness, blood flow, and nerve involvement in 150 adults with blast or drone-related burns. The goal is to identify early warning signs of chronic pain, which could help guide treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients will develop long-term burn scar pain, leading to earlier and more targeted treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not identify reliable predictors, and results may not apply to all burn injuries.
