Comparison of Postoperative Pain After Application of Aloe Vera Gel Dressings With Conventional Paraffin-Based Tulle Dressings at Split-Thickness Skin Graft Donor Site
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Aloe Vera gel dressing helps reduce pain better than traditional paraffin-based tulle dressing at the donor site of split-thickness skin grafts in adult patients aged 18 to 60. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Aloe Vera gel dressing reduce postoperative pain more effectively than paraffin-based tulle dressing on the 7th day after surgery? Is there a difference in the need for additional pain medication between the two groups? Researchers will compare Aloe Vera gel dressing to paraffin-based tulle dressing to see if Aloe Vera leads to better pain control. Participants will: Undergo split-thickness skin graft surgery Receive either Aloe Vera gel dressing or paraffin-based tulle dressing at the donor site Have pain measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) on the 7th day after surgery Be given pain medication if their pain score is 4 or higher, and the amount used will be recorded
