Abstract

Burn injuries are caused by the harmful impact of hot materials (in either liquid or solid form), radiation exposure, radioactivity, electric shock, friction, or chemical contact on the skin or underlying tissues [1-3]. Annually, burns lead to the demise of 265,000 individuals globally. The healthcare system in the United States bears an approximate annual expense of $486,000 towards burn injuries, with $3275 thousand linked to fires and $2745 thousand resulting in the loss of the victim's life [1]. Additionally, burns are among the primary causes of morbidity, necessitating extended hospital stays and protracted recovery periods [3, 4]. Burn victims commonly undergo pain, which has distinct physical and psychological components and the possibility of evolving into a chronic condition [5-8].
