Efficacy and feasibility of opioids for burn analgesia: An evidence-based qualitative review of randomized controlled trials

Burns have become a major public health concern impacting the healthcare system, and a financial burden to society, because of the high associated morbidity and mortality [1].

Therefore, pain control is imperative and seems to be a fundamental element of burn care procedures such as dressing changes, tubbing, debriding, and skin grafting.
