About this study

Official title: Effect of Topical Turkish Propolis Application on Burn Healing in Experimental Burn Model

This experimental study will be carried out at Ege University Laboratory Animals Application and Research Center to identify the efficacy of 10% propolis and 15% propolis on wound healing in a second-degree superficial burn wound.

In the study, 36 adult (8-12 week old) Wistar-Albino rats with a weight of 200-300 grams will be used in each group. Each group will include 6 rats. Stratified randomization will be used to randomize rats according to their gender and weight. After randomization, a burnt area will be created on the back of the rats and dressings will be made every day.

Following the creation of the burn, biopsy samples will be taken on the 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21st days and at the light microscopic level; bulla, erythema, oedema, burn depth, inflammatory cell infiltration, necrosis, ulceration, angiogenesis, neovascularization, fibroblast proliferation, collagenization, epithelization, fibrosis, the number of hair follicles and damage to the skin attachments.

In the immunohistochemical examination of biopsy samples, samples will be taken for the evaluation of superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, myeloperoxidase in the evaluation of the tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1β and oxidative stress in the EBB period in order to evaluate the acute phase reactants. Fungal and gram staining will be done in order to determine the pathogen reproduction in biopsy samples taken on the 3rd and 7th day. Masson trichrome in order to detect fibrosis in biopsy samples taken on the 14th and 21st day; Hydroxyproline examination will be examined in order to evaluate collagen formation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing burn wound dressing in people with Burns and Burn Wound, run by Izmir Katip Celebi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

wound size (time frame: 21 days). The study lists 41 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2022.
