Review Meta Analysis
Hypnosis for burn wound care pain and anxiety: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Evidence from clinical trials suggests psychological interventions should be considered as an adjunct to medications. ⋯ These results suggest that hypnosis reduces pain intensity and anxiety ratings in adults undergoing burn wound care. However, because of the limitations discussed, clinical recommendations are still premature.

Severe burns in children can lead to growth delays, bone loss, and wasting of lean body mass and muscle with subsequent long-term effects such as osteoporosis. The following review examines 11 randomized, placebo-controlled, prospective clinical trials in pediatric burns between 1995 and 2017. These studies included approximately 250 burned children, and they were conducted to evaluate the impact of severe burn on markers of bone formation and bone metabolism. ⋯ The clinical utility of these outlined biomarkers is uncertain with regard to acute burn care, as the current literature remains unclear. This review thus serves to address the impact of severe burn on markers of bone formation and bone metabolism in pediatric patients but will not focus on the clinical utility of the markers. The aim of this review is to summarize the findings of the trials to guide the future care of burned patients to maximize bone recovery.
