NCT03343353

Brief Summary

Light Emitting Diode (LED) therapy has been investigated in burns and skin ulcers, as it has a bactericidal effect and promotes tissue repair. This study aims to evaluate LED therapy at different wavelengths in the healing process of graft donor area in adult burn victims.

Study Arms (3)

LED red group (630nm)

EXPERIMENTAL

The leds will initially be measured in the photobiophysics laboratory of the University of São Paulo - Ribeirão Preto, regarding wavelength parameters, beam divergence, nominal power and fluency. The application will be in the graft donor area (scalp) of burn patients. The applied fluence will be 4J / cm2.

Other: LED (Light Emission Diode)

LED infrared group (940nm)

EXPERIMENTAL

The leds will initially be measured in the photobiophysics laboratory of the University of São Paulo - Ribeirão Preto, regarding wavelength parameters, beam divergence, nominal power and fluency. The application will be in the graft donor area (scalp) of burn patients. The applied fluence will be 4J / cm2.

Other: LED (Light Emission Diode)

Group Sham

SHAM COMPARATOR

This group will not receive irradiation by led light. You will only receive the routine care of the hospital unit to which you are hospitalized. These patients will be evaluated in the same way as the other two intervention groups, and also by a blind evaluator.

Other: LED (Light Emission Diode)

Interventions

LED light application in cutaneous lesions from the graft donor area (scalp) in patients who are victims of burns

Group ShamLED infrared group (940nm)LED red group (630nm)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 60 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients admitted to the Burn Unit of the HCFMRP-USP - Emergency Unit, who agree to participate in the study and are over 18 years of age, guided and without diagnosis of psychiatric diseases, who have undergone graft surgery for a maximum of 24 hours, with a body mass index greater than 16 kg / m² and without infection (sepsis), and that do not present any factor that could interfere in healing such as diabetes or the use of corticosteroids.
