Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
There are few large-scale studies on the joint treatment of burns and scalds between Chinese and Western medicine. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to compare the wound healing status and healing time between two groups that simply received conventional Western medicine treatment and conventional treatment plus interventional treatment with Chinese medicine. The study investigate traditional Chinese medicine interventional treatment model for mild to moderate burns and scalds, and hope to implement it clinically in the future to improve medical quality and treatment efficiency.
A single-center, randomized control crossover trial. This study will be conducted at the Burn and Scald Center and Plastic Surgery/Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic of China Medical University Hospital. When patients seek medical treatment for burns and scalds, they will be evaluated by a plastic surgeon and randomly assigned into two groups. One group will receive conventional Western medicine treatment plus TCM intervention. Different treatment strategies will be adopted depending on the severity of the condition, and the first assessment will be conducted before TCM interventional treatment. , a post-test was conducted four weeks after treatment. Afterward, the two groups will be alternated. The group that did not receive TCM intervention received TCM interventional treatment for four weeks, while the other group received only conventional Western medicine treatment. The assessment items included: assessment of wound and pain status. Pain status was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and scars were assessed using the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS). Assess, and record critical indicators according to clinical needs, such as caloric requirement (kcal), daily fluid requirement (ml), daily urine output (ml) and other physiological parameters, and record the burn area (Modified Lund-Browder chart) and depth. The control group will be treated with conventional Western medicine. Outcome measurements will be assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, and 4 weeks after crossover (8 weeks). The goal of our study is to measure the effectiveness of TCM interventional treatment in shortening recovery time and improving accompanying symptoms of burns and scalds.
