Comparing the effects of aromatherapy massage and inhalation aromatherapy on anxiety and pain in burn patients: A single-blind randomized clinical trial

Burns, which constitute 5% of hospital admissions, are one of the major treatment problems in developing countries [1]. Studies show that 1.1 million burn patients in the United States and 1 million burn patients in Europe are undergoing treatment for burns. Prevalence of burns and its mortality rate are high in Iran [2], and Aghakhani's study in Western Azerbaijan estimated burn-related hospitalizations of 21.6 per 100,000 patients. Another study in southwest Iran estimated that the overall hospitalization and burn-related mortality were 13.4 and 4.6, respectively, per 100,000 people in a year [3,4].
