Study Summary
This trial will test the effects of a mechanical massage device on scar tissue, with the goal of reducing stiffness and improving elasticity. The study will last 12 weeks and compare the results to a control group.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for burn survivors, aged 14 or older, with hypertrophic scars that are at least 3 months old and thick enough to withstand treatment. Participants must understand French or English and give informed consent. It's not suitable for those with keloids, certain dermatological conditions, psychiatric illnesses, injuries from electricity/chemicals/cold, or allergies to ultrasound gel.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests endermotherapy on burn scars over a period of 12 weeks. This mechanical massage aims to make the scar tissue more pliable using rollers and suction valves. The effects on scar coloration, thickness, flexibility as well as subjective feelings of itchiness and pain will be measured.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not detailed in this summary, potential risks may include discomfort during treatment due to skin manipulation by the device's rollers and suction valves.
