Comparison of the effect of mitomycin c and triamcinolone injection on hypertrophic scars in burn patients in Ahwaz city

Design
-
Patients with a 1:1 ratio will be placed in two groups receiving mitomycin C with a concentration of 0.4 mg/d and triamcilonone. This study will be conducted in a triple-blind manner, so that the patients, the researcher, and the supervisor were not aware of the grouping of the patients and the medication received by them. In such a way that the drugs are completely similar in terms of shape, color, smell.

Settings and conduct
-
This is a clinical trial study that will be conducted in Taleghani Hospital, Ahvaz, Iran between 2022 and 2023. This study will be conducted as a three-way blind, so that the participants, the researcher, and the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will not know the type of intervention allocated. Finally, patients with hypertrophic burn scar complications are divided into two groups. The first group will be received mitomycin C and the second group will be received triamcilonone. After that, in a period of two months, patients will be evaluated in both places in terms of reducing the size of scar and keloid, as well as in terms of color change, vascularity, flexibility, width based on Vancouver criteria and local itching.
