The purpose of this study is to investigate whether patients' age, total burned surface area, wound stage and wound depth determine wound healing response to pulsed electromagnetic therapy in burn patients
It will be hypothesized that
Pulsed electromagnetic waves will be performed for 60 min 3 times per week till healing (maximum 8 weeks) on the wound area.
PEMF therapy will be as (duration: 60 minutes; frequency: 12 Hz; intensity: 12 Gauss)
