NCT ID NCT05084248
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a higher daily dose of vitamin D (4000 IU) is better than the standard dose (400 IU) for adults who had a major burn injury and are vitamin D deficient. 48 people took part, and researchers measured changes in their physical and mental health, as well as itching. The goal was to see if extra vitamin D could improve recovery and quality of life.
