Abstract
[Truncated] Non-severe burn injuries involve less than 20% of the total body surface area (TBSA and account for over 80% of burn presentations at hospitals in the developed world. despite very low mortality there is growing evidence that these non-severe injuries are associated with long-term systematic effects. In addition, impaired sensation, paresthesia, chronic pain and itch are common sequelae, leading to long-term functional deficits for burn patients. In this thesis the effects of non-severe burns on the peripheral somatosensory system were investigated.
