What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the use of tilapia fish skin as a healing dressing for patients with second or third-degree burns. This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of burn wounds treated with tilapia fish skin dressing versus regular dressing. The goal is to understand how well the tilapia fish skin dressing supports wound healing compared to standard care methods. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive burn dressing using tilapia fish skin, while the other group will receive regular dressing. Both treatments are applied as procedures to the burn wounds. The study does not involve any blinding, and both treatments are actively compared to assess their effects. During the study, researchers will monitor wound healing progress, focusing on the effect of the dressings three weeks after regular dressing application. Participants will undergo regular assessments to evaluate wound healing and clinical outcomes. The total study duration extends until January 2026, allowing sufficient time for follow-up and observation of healing results.
