Overview

This study aims to develop an objective scar scoring system via ultrasonography and try to apply it to clinical using.

This study was divided into two parts. The first part of the study is an observational study design. The scar scoring system will be developed, and its test-retest reliability and criterion-related validity will be tested in this part.

The second part is also an observational study design. The clinical application of the system on traumatic injured patients is conducted in the second part. The results from this scar scoring system are correlated with hand function measurements. Moreover, every scar will be recorded three times within one month during routine rehabilitation to investigate the change.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
