Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialProspective, randomized study of the efficacy of pressure garment therapy in patients with burns.
A randomized, prospective study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of pressure garment therapy in patients with burns. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either pressure garment therapy or no pressure garment therapy. ⋯ Eight of the patients receiving pressure garment therapy and nine receiving no pressure garment therapy were not involved in the follow-up. No significant differences were found between the two groups when age, body surface area burn, length of hospital stay, or time to wound maturation were compared.
