Description: The article discusses a study which investigates the association of burn to the functional sensation of the skin. It mentions that the injury to the skin may involve damage to the peripheral nerves and will reduce innervation and sensory function in scar tissue. It notes that the loss of sensation have resulted from the decreased nerve fiber function in the scar and the changes in the perception of stimuli by the central nervous system.
