The Effect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in the Treatment of Post Burn Scars

CicatrixHypertrophic

A prospective, randomized, controlled study. The patients were divided into two groups with twenty patients per group. The control group received the standard treatment for postburn scars. The treatment group received the standard treatment and treatment of postburn scars with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy 512 impulses of 0.15mJ/mm 2 in each session, twice per week for 4 weeks. The investigators assessed the appearance of scar with the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), pruritus and pain with Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before the start of the treatment and at 2 weeks and 5 months after the treatment.

Pilot Study of the Ablative Fractional CO2 Laser in Hypertrophic Scars in Adult Burn Patients

Burns

This is a randomized, controlled, within-patient, single-blinded, pilot study that will evaluate the impact of laser treatment on burn HSc relative to self-matched control scars. The studied primary outcomes of treatment are scar pliability, thickness, vascularity, pain, itch and patient satisfaction.

A Clinical Study of Allogeneic Human Dermal Fibroblasts for Remodeling Scar Contractures

Restrictive Scar ContractureRestrictive Hypertrophic Scar2 more

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of ICX-RHY-013 in the treatment of stable, restrictive scars in subjects who have suffered a burn injury. Evaluation will be achieved through regular assessment of adverse events, vital signs, blood work monitoring and laboratory analysis cellular properties of the scar through biopsy. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate improvement in symptoms of scars including reduced pain, discomfort and itching, improvement in mobility and daily function, improvement in appearance and scar texture.

Intron A for the Treatment of Hypertrophic Scar

BurnHypertrophic Scar

This study assesses the intervention with antifibrotic agents, specifically interferon (IFN) to reduce the magnitude and duration of hypertrophic scar. Burn patients with hypertrophic scar are randomly assigned to either an intervention IFN group or a placebo control group by subcutaneous injection three times a week. Patients are assessed using cutometer, mexameter, standardized photography, urinalysis, blood work, tissue biopsies and the Vancouver Burn Scar Assessment (VBSA) which rates selected HTS based on color, vascularity, height, pliability, itchiness and pain sensitivity. Once on treatment patients are assessed monthly for the six month treatment period.

Laser Induced Bioengineered Remodeling of Thermally Injured Skin Trial

Hypertrophic Scars

This study will evaluate the efficacy of pulsed dye laser (PDL) and carbon dioxide (CO2) laser in conjunction with usual care (MED) for the treatment of hypertrophic burn scars and will determine the optimal sequence and timing of lasers and usual care.

Role of Topical Putrescine (Fibrostat) for Prevention of Hypertrophic Scars in Mammoplasty Patients...

Hypertrophic Scar

Linked to previous Clinical Trial E92:069 in which biochemical effect of 1,4 diaminobutane was studied in human scar harvested at revision surgery after a 12 week application. Analytical data was collected in this phase of the work completed in 1999. This was then followed by clinical correlation in a scar prevention model with topical application of 1,4 diaminobutane for 12 weeks and measuring duredness , as well photographic and POSAS score data for quality of scar formation.

Comparison of Dual-mode ER:YAG Laser in Patients With Long Keloid/Hypertrophic Scars

KeloidHypertrophic Scars

Skin injuries due to trauma are relatively common, and patients are very concerned about scars caused by trauma and primary repair. Recently, the use of ablative and non-ablative lasers based on the fractional approach has become a novel strategy for the treatment of scars. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of dual-mode Er:YAG laser delivering pulses either with and without heat/coagulation in a cohort of patients with long keloid/hypertrophic scars. The main hypothesis is that ablative fractional laser without heat/coagulation is equivalent to laser with heat/coagulation in terms of scars volume reduction, while the secondary hypothesis is that ablative fractional laser without heat/coagulation is superior in terms of post-operative erythema and hypopigmentation reduction.

Effect of Elastic Bandage With Tension on the Inflammatory Response of Hypertrophic Scars

BurnsHypertrophic Scar

Burns can lead to lesions of total thickness, which extend the reticular layer of the dermis requiring a healing process, resulting in aesthetic problems, hypertrophic and functional scars that causes the patient a state of low esteem and social isolation. Elastic bandage - Kinesio tape - is a low cost therapeutic resource when compared to the compression mesh and silicone gel plates, commonly indicated for the conservative treatment of these scars. The compressive effect of the bandage on the hypertrophic scar tissue promotes the reduction of local vascularization and the realignment of the collagen fibers, resulting in the repair of the multidirectional mobility of the treated tissue. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of elastic bandage with tension on the inflammatory response of hypertrophic scars in patients with deep burns. It is a randomized, triple blind study. Patients aged 18-59 years with hypertrophic scars due to burns will be included, and those with scaling and open wounds in scar tissue will be included, pregnant women and patients who have previously used any therapeutic resource that may have altered the remodeling process of the hypertrophic scar. The bandage will be applied on the scar selected by lottery. The intervention group will receive the bandage with a tension around 70% and the group will control the same bandage without tension. This feature will be used for a period of three to four days. Initial and subsequent evaluations will be performed after 45 and 90 days. Primary outcome: analysis of the inflammatory response. Through immunohistochemistry and the histological evaluation of the organization pattern of collagen fibers. Secondary: aesthetic and functional evaluation of the hypertrophic scar through the Vancouver scale. The statistical analysis will be done by the researcher and his collaborators, in addition to the statistical one, using the statistical programs Epi-Info 3.5 and Medcalc. For categorical variables, where appropriate, use of the chi-square test of association and Fisher's exact test. Regarding the quantitative variables, the unpaired samples were Student's t-test and if the distribution is not normal, the Mann-Whitney test will be used.
