Summary:Burn injuries can be associated with the incidence of disability and death, yet their management remains a costly difficult problem. We conducted this clinical trial to evaluate the period of wound healing with sea buckthorn dressings for the second‐degree burns and compare the results with 1% silver sulfadiazine (SSD) dressings. This randomized triple‐blind clinical trial was conducted in a hospital in Isfahan, Iran. Fifty‐five patients suffering second‐degree burns were recruited through convenient sampling and randomly divided into two groups and treated with either sea buckthorn cream or 1% SSD. Wound dressings were done until complete wound healing was attained. The process of healing burns was monitored using the Bates‐Jensen Wound Assessment Tool; complete healing was determined by using the standard burn healing checklist. It was deduced that the period of healing second‐degree burns in the group treated with sea buckthorn cream was shorter than the group treated with 1% SSD (p
