Summary

This study tested whether breathing exercises and using a stress ball during dressing changes can reduce pain, anxiety, and improve comfort in burn patients. 210 adults with burns on 15% or less of their body took part. Researchers measured pain, anxiety, comfort, and vital signs before and after the techniques were used.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
breathing exercises and stress ball
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple, drug-free approach could help burn patients feel less pain and anxiety during dressing changes, improving their comfort and recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study without a control group, so results may not apply to all burn patients. The techniques may not work for everyone or replace standard pain management.
