A total of 120 patients are recruited in a multi-centre study with randomisation in a 1:1 allocation to each arm.
Recruits are within three months of healing from a burn injury with wounds showing a defined potential for hypertrophic scarring. The difference is measured between baseline and six-month follow-up.
Burn scars drawing trial#
This is a parallel-arm randomised, controlled trial to compare PDL and standard care against standard care alone. The objective is to improve Quality of Life for the patient by improving both the appearance and quality of burn scarring, as well as reducing its psychological impact.
The aim is to assess the effectiveness of treating hypertrophic burns scars with pulsed dye laser (PDL) at an early stage of scar formation. It is a Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) study funded by the National Institute for Healthcare Research (NIHR). This paper outlines the protocol for a study that is being carried out at multiple centres across the UK in the next three years.
