DEVELOPMENT OF A CLINICAL PREDICTION RULES TO IDENTIFY EFFICACY OF PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC THERAPY ON BURN WOUND HEALING

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Burn Wound
• Interventions: Device: electromagnetic device

• Registration Number: NCT05341427
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether patients' age, total burned surface area, wound stage and wound depth determine wound healing response to pulsed electromagnetic therapy in burn patients

Detailed Description

It will be hypothesized that

1. Age may significantly affect burn wound healing's response to pulsed electromagnetic waves.

2. TBSA may significantly affect burn wound healing's response to pulsed electromagnetic waves

3. Depth of wound may significantly affect burn wound healing's response to pulsed electromagnetic waves

4. Wound healing stage may significantly affect burn wound healing's response to pulsed electromagnetic waves This study will be conducted at the in-patient burn units. There will be only one intervention group. The duration of the study will be 6 weeks divided to 18 sessions (three sessions per week). Sixty patients (male and female) will be recruited from the burn units.

Pulsed electromagnetic waves will be performed for 60 min 3 times per week till healing (maximum 8 weeks) on the wound area.

PEMF therapy will be as (duration: 60 minutes; frequency: 12 Hz; intensity: 12 Gauss)
