Talking away the pain: new study tests comfort chat for burn patients
NCT ID NCT07385339
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special way of talking by nurses can help adults with burns feel less pain and worry during dressing changes. About 62 people will be split into two groups: one gets the special comfort talk, the other gets usual care. The goal is to see if simple, supportive communication can make a painful procedure easier to handle.
