Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time

    We will count the time it takes days to remove the dressing rayon in donor areas.

    One year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Numerical Pain Scale

    One year

Study Arms (3)

High voltage

EXPERIMENTAL

The applied parameters of high voltage electrical stimulation are medium voltage of 100 volts, an increase in the course of the session, frequency of 10 Hz, with application in the donor areas of thigh or scalp for 40 minutes, 25% above of level engine daily until complete epithelialization, and removal of the dressing type rayon.

Device: High voltage

Neuromuscular transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS)

EXPERIMENTAL

10 Hz, 40 min, 200 μs and 25% above of motor level

Device: Neuromuscular transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS)

Control Group

EXPERIMENTAL

There will be no intervention

Other: Control Group

Interventions

Electrical stimulation treatments will be made in donor areas (scalp and thigh) in patients burns

High voltage

Electrical stimulation treatments will be made in donor areas (scalp and thigh) in patients burns.

Neuromuscular transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS)

The control group will not have electrical stimulation however, will be evaluated with digital digital imaging, thermography imaging, skin hardness and subjective pain and healing scales

Control Group

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 59 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Victims of second deep degree and third degree burns, aged between 18 and 59 years
  • Both sexes
  • Underwent the surgical procedure of grafting (PCE) with donor area of the scalp or thigh thick standardized mean (0.20 mm).

You may not qualify if:

  • Diabetes,
  • Infectious processes
  • Use of medications that alter the healing process (corticosteroids, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, among others)
  • Cognitive impairment
