Design and Application of Vitamin D Films for Burn Healing After Cauterizing Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
One of this method's drawbacks is the healing of cauterized cartilage after processing. It was reported that the healing is so slow as no dosage form can reach this place in addition to the scares produced from healing is very irritable to the patient.
From this point, the investigators start searching for a solution to this problem and reach the repositioning of Vitamin D3 (calciferol) as an active ingredient for the rapidity and efficacy of burn healing.
The dosage form of choice that was reported before for intranasal application by the same team of investigators and gave good results. the intranasal films were proved for its convince, simplicity, efficacy, and compliance to patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Healing of cauterized tissues after surgery procedures [three week]
The outcome will be measured by endoscopic scanning pre and after application of the drug in the dosage form (representing the percent of healing) by the ENT surgeon.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- patients compliance from the new dosage form [three weeks]
The patient compliance will be measured by rating the pain and the development of symptoms before surgery using a questionnaire
- Assessment of grades of healing by ENT surgeon [three weeks]
Evaluation of (1) bleeding (amount and frequencies), (2) crustation ( amount and nature), and (3) inflammation (size and the redness of the place of surgery)
