Who can join
Adults 1 to 18, any sex, with Hypertrophic Scarring. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.
What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS)
Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and 24 weeks
This scale incorporates the patient's/caregiver's perspective on their scar. It measures scar color, pliability, thickness, relief, itching, and pain scored by patient/caregiver. The observer scale measures vascularization, pigmentation, pliability, thickness, and relief. -
Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS)
Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and 24 weeks
This scale scores pigmentation, vascularity, pliability, and scar height with the sum of the scores that correlates with hypertrophic scars.
Sponsor's own description
The study's objective is to compare the global scar outcomes in those treated with silicone only therapy (SOT) versus silicone pressure garment therapy (SPGT) for the prevention of hypertrophic scarring in children with skin grafts after traumatic skin injury.
