Summary

This trial is testing the efficacy of a non-silicone gel sheet for the treatment of hypertrophic scars. The study will compare the gel sheet to a matched control site.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for burn survivors aged 16 or older with hypertrophic scars from thermal burns, who can understand French or English and have signed the consent form. It's not for those with certain psychiatric illnesses, mature scars, non-thermal burn injuries, allergies to ultrasound gel, keloid scars formation tendencies, or skin conditions like psoriasis near the scar.
What is being tested?
The study tests a non-silicone based gel sheet on one part of a patient's scar compared to an untreated part. It aims to measure changes in scar vascularity, thickness, pain and itchiness over time using precise electronic instruments in a controlled environment at Villa Medica Rehabilitation Hospital.
What are the potential side effects?
There's a small chance (10-25%) that the gel might cause minor redness if instructions aren't followed properly. This side effect typically goes away quickly after removing the gel sheet.
