No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Persistent burn scar pain is common after blast and drone-related injuries and may be driven by scar fibrosis, vascular activity, and peripheral nerve involvement within scar tissue. This prospective cohort study aims to determine whether early ultrasound features of scars and nerves predict persistent clinically significant scar pain at 3 and 6 months. Ultrasound measures include scar thickness, echogenicity, Power Doppler vascularity, dynamic adhesion (gliding) assessment, and ultrasound signs of nerve involvement ("US-nerve positive"). Clinical outcomes include pain intensity (NRS), neuropathic pain screening (DN4), and functional interference.
