Blue Light for Donor Site Healing in Burn Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether blue light (BL) photobiomodulation can improve the healing of donor site (DS) wounds in patients with burn injuries who are treated surgically. This study will investigate whether adding BL therapy to the usual treatment can improve healing and patient outcomes in adult patients with intermediate and deep burns. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the use of BL therapy combined with standard treatment reduce the healing time of DS compared with standard treatment alone? * Does BL therapy improve wound conditions, reduce pain, and decrease signs of infection during the healing process? * Is BL therapy safe and well tolerated when applied to DS? * Does the treatment improve the long-term quality of the scar after healing? Researchers will compare DS areas treated with standard care alone to DS areas treated with standard care plus BL therapy to see whether BL improves healing outcomes. Each participant will serve as their own comparison: two different DS areas on the same patient will receive the two different treatments. Participants will: * Receive the standard treatment for DS, which includes routine wound care and dressing * Receive BL therapy on one DS area in addition to the standard treatment, while another DS area will receive standard treatment alone * Attend regular clinical evaluations where clinicians will assess wound healing and the condition of the wound bed * Report their pain levels using a simple numeric scale during the healing period * Undergo skin swabs to detect possible signs of infection * Be monitored for any local side effects, such as redness, burning sensation, warmth, itching, or skin irritation related to the light treatment After the DS have completely healed, participants will return for follow-up visits at 1 month and 3 months. During these visits, researchers will evaluate the quality of the scars and monitor for any late side effects.

The Effectiveness of Nano Bio Fusion Gingival Gel (NBF) on Wound Healing at the Palate (Donor Site) After Soft Tissue Graft Surgery Compared to Placebo Gel.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of Nano-biofusion gingival gel (NBF) on wound healing at the palatal donor site following soft tissue graft surgery and compare it to placebo gel. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does NBF gel enhance wound healing after graft harvesting from the palate? * Does NBF gel reduce the number of inflammatory mediators after surgery? * Does NBF gel reduce pain and discomfort at the palatal donor site? Researchers will compare NBF gel to a placebo (a look-alike gel that does not contain the active ingredients) to see if NBF gel enhances wound healing. Study steps include: * Participants will apply the assigned gel on the surgical wound 4 times a day for 4 weeks. * Clinical photographs and measurements will be obtained on days (0, 1, 2, 4, 7, 15, 21, 30). * Wound fluid samples will be collected on days (0, 1, 2, 4, 7). * Participants will be asked about the level of pain and analgesic consumption on each follow-up visit.

Aloe Vera vs Paraffin Tulle Dressings for Pain Management in Split Thickness Skin Graft Donor Sites

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Aloe Vera gel dressing helps reduce pain better than traditional paraffin-based tulle dressing at the donor site of split-thickness skin grafts in adult patients aged 18 to 60. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Aloe Vera gel dressing reduce postoperative pain more effectively than paraffin-based tulle dressing on the 7th day after surgery? Is there a difference in the need for additional pain medication between the two groups? Researchers will compare Aloe Vera gel dressing to paraffin-based tulle dressing to see if Aloe Vera leads to better pain control. Participants will: Undergo split-thickness skin graft surgery Receive either Aloe Vera gel dressing or paraffin-based tulle dressing at the donor site Have pain measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) on the 7th day after surgery Be given pain medication if their pain score is 4 or higher, and the amount used will be recorded

Radial Forearm Donor Site Closure

The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is widely used in head and neck reconstruction. Its thinness, pliability, pedicle length, and vessel size are particularly suited for oropharyngeal and oral cavity reconstruction. Concerns about aesthetic and functional morbidity at the donor site have given rise to various techniques of closing the donor site, two of which are the split-thickness skin graft (STSG), taken from the thigh, and the hatchet flap, which uses a local flap within the radial forearm. This RCT will determine whether retrospectively reported improvements to aesthetic and functional outcomes for STSG patients are greater compared to hatchet flap patients.
