Settings and conduct
-
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of human amniotic membrane on wound healing in burn patients referred to the burn ward of Vasei hospital in Sabzevar. None of the patients and outcome evaluators are aware of the study procedure and placement of the study groups. Before graft removal, patients are randomly divided into two groups: proximal or distal intervention area and in each group according to the intervention area, the other is considered as a control. Evaluation of response to treatment is performed on days 10, 20 and 30 after intervention using photographic morphometry for both groups.
