3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
According to the National Burn Repository 2007, the most common type of burn injury is a partial thickness burns. The current standard of care for partial thickness burns is two weeks of topical therapy and wound care. Burns that do not heal within two weeks undergo surgical excision and skin grafting.
The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of healing and the non-adherence of three types of dressings. The study will also compare rate of infection, scarring and perception of pain associated with treatment.
The purpose of this project is to quantify normal and abnormal skin blood flow regionally in different areas of the body(face, extremities, over burns and wounds) at baseline and over time in response to treatment or environmental changes, such as temperature, light and pressure.
