Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Pain (VAS)

    During burn injury. 1 hours following melatonin/placebo administration

  • Change in areas of secondary hyperalgesia

    Areas of secondary hyperalgesia will be assessed by quantitative sensory testing

    1,2,4,6 hours following burn injury, which corresponds to 2,3,5 and 7 hours after melatonin/placebo-administration

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in erythema/oedema assessed by ultrasound

    1,2,4,6 hours following burn injury, which corresponds to 2,3,5 and 7 hours after melatonin/placebo-administration

  • Thermal thresholds assessed by quantitative sensory testing

    1,2,4,6 hours following burn injury, which corresponds to 2,3,5 and 7 hours after melatonin/placebo-administration

  • Mechanical thresholds assessed quantitative sensory testing

    1,2,4,6 hours following burn injury, which corresponds to 2,3,5 and 7 hours after melatonin/placebo-administration
