Summary
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will evaluate the cost-effectiveness of combining extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) with standard rehabilitation versus standard rehabilitation alone for the management of hypertrophic post-burn scars in adults. The study will assess clinical outcomes-such as pain intensity, pruritus, and scar quality-alongside economic outcomes including cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained, direct medical costs, and indirect costs (e.g., absenteeism and reduced productivity). Results will inform health policy and resource allocation decisions for advanced burn rehabilitation interventions.
