U.S., July 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07050264) titled 'The Effect of Simulated Burn Injury on Post Exercise Recovery in a Hot Environment' on June 25.
Brief Summary: Burn survivors have difficulty thermoregulating due to reduced skin blood flow and sweating responses at the grafted sites. We have previously shown that this impaired heat dissipation results in burn survivors experiencing higher core temperatures for a given exercise/environmental exposure compared to non-burned individuals. This also holds true with the use of simulated burn injury. When an absorbent material is applied to the skin over a desired amount of body surface area, it replicates a burn injury of the same size (i...
