Aloe Vera vs Paraffin Tulle Dressings for Pain Management in Split Thickness Skin Graft Donor Sites
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Skin Graft Wounds, Donor Site Complication, Pain, Postoperative, Skin Transplantation
In brief
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
