Summary

Burns are type of injury that affect the skin or other tissues and are typically caused by acute trauma, including thermal sources, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. Thermal burns are frequently caused by exposure to high temperature solids or liquids, as well as flames. The epidermis is the only layer of skin affected by superficial burns (sometimes known as "first degree" burns). Blistering is a common symptom of partial thickness (second degree) burns, which damage both the epidermis and dermis.

  • Burns Laser

Interventions

OTHER

Low Level LASER Therapy with Pressure Garment

This group will be treated by low level laser therapy with pressure garment (8-10hrs a day) by Laplace' s Law method because it is more accurate since the range of pressures that can be delivered to a particular range of body circumferences varies depending on the fabric used and its particular tension- extension profile, the method is difficult to utilize manually and till present there is no available design tool to aid in its application. Pressure garments generate an increase in subdermal pressures in the range 9- 90 mmHg depending on the anatomical site. Garments over soft tissues generate pressures ranging from 9 to 33 mmHg. Over bony prominences the pressures range from 47 to 90 mmHg. 25mmHg pressure will be provided by garments and garments will be replaced in every 2 months

OTHER

Low Level LASER Therapy without Pressure Garment

This group will receive low level LASER therapy (422-800nm) without pressure garment only for the duration of 6 weeks (3 days in a week with 20-30 minutes per session).
