Skin Wetting in Burn Survivors (NCT06529757)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This project will identify the efficacy of whole body skin wetting aimed to attenuate excessive elevations in internal body temperatures during physical activity in well-healed burn survivors. The investigators will conduct a randomized crossover design study. Non-burned control subjects, subjects who experienced burns covering \~20% to 40% of their body surface area, and subject having burns \>40% of their body surface area will be investigated. Subjects will exercise in heated environmental conditions while receiving no cooling or whole body skin wetting.
