Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The number of days until wound closure (= 90% re-epithelialization). Timepoint: Study wounds will be evaluated, beginning at day 2 after treatment and at least every other day thereafter. Method of measurement: By wound re-epithelialization assessments, the percentage of wounds closure will be assessed by the same investigator through visual estimation, to the nearest 5%, up to 90% and by single percentage points above 90%. The appearance of new tissue at the wound edge can be measured in centimeters or by the percentage of wound coverage. Then, the number of days taken for complete re-epithelialization to occur will be recorded.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The analgesic effect. Timepoint: Every other day from first day of treatment. Method of measurement: By visual analogous scale (VAS), itching (5-point scale), and sensation during change of dressing (4-point scale).;The quality of wound healing. Timepoint: Every other days from third day of treatment. Method of measurement: According to elasticity, smoothness, and appearance of the wound.;Adverse effects. Timepoint: During treatment period. Method of measurement: According to any toxicity evidence or dermal abnormal sign indicating rashes, post positive swelling or inflammation, redness, irritation, pain, itching, necrosis, scar formation, and systemic adverse events.;The number of partial thickness healed wounds in the 21st day of intervention. Timepoint: The healing rate will be assessed every other day. Method of measurement: It will be determined by a surgeon.;Wounds surface areas. Timepoint: Every other day. Method of measurement: It will be defined by wounds planimetry which will be performed by a surgeon.;The number of dressing changes. Timepoint: Every day. Method of measurement: By counting the number of dressing changes.;Wounds Infection. Timepoint: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 10th, and 17th days. Method of measurement: According to positive or negative bacterial cultures.;The burn complications (infection, scar formation, hypopigmentation). Timepoint: Every other day from third day of treatment. Method of measurement: According to bacteriological assessments and appearance of the wounds.;The cosmetic results. Timepoint: Every other day from third day of treatment. Method of measurement: According to scar formation, hypopigmentation and the investigator idea.;Number of days until the first appearance of granulation tissue. Timepoint: Every other day from third day of treatment. Method of measurement: It will be determined during each visit by a surgeon.;The failure to heal. Timepoint: Every other day from third day of treatment. Method of measurement: According to very
