简要总结
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence appears for non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) to remodel mature burn scars.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate long-term clinical and histological appearance of mature burn scars after NAFL-treatment.
HYPOTHESIS: That NAFL can modulate mature burn scars with subsequently improved cosmetic and functional appearance.
METHODS: Study patients with burn scars at trunk or extremities. Side-by-side test areas are randomized to three monthly 1,540 nm NAFL-treatments or control, followed by blinded evaluations at 1, 3, and 6 months using mPOSAS (modified Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale; 1 = normal skin, 10 = worst imaginable scar).

结局指标
主要结局
Change in overall Scar-appearance
时间窗: 1,3 and 6 months follow-up
Primary endpoint is change in overall scar-appearance assessed by a slightly modified Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (evaluation of study area omitted since this is fixed as part of study procedure). Scale: 1= normal skin; 10= worst imaginable scar.
次要结局
- specific clinical and histological scar appearance(1, 3, and 6 months follow-up)
