    Summary Introduction: Burns often cause severe physical and mental suffering and can become a trigger for the development of permanent psychological diseases, even after wound healing. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one such disorder, which involves the reexperiencing of many symptoms provoked by a previous traumatic situation. Method: This study is a systematic review of interventions used to reduce or prevent PTSD symptoms in burn victims. We included randomized clinical trials that described therapeutic interventions for the prevention of PTSD in burn patients. The search was conducted in the databases EMBASE and PUBMED/Medline between 2009 and 2020, and the main variables evaluated were%TBSA, age, number of hospitalization days, type of intervention, follow-up time and results. The analysis of the bias risk was carried out according to the guidance in the Cochrane Handbook for Bias Risk Assessment. Results: Eight clinical trials were selected: three of them were performed in children, and five involved adults. The most common bias risks were related to participant/researcher blinding and loss of follow-up. Two interventions were identified: a pharmacological intervention and a psychological intervention. Medications (sertraline and propanolol) were not effective in reducing stress symptoms. Four studies used cognitive-behavioral therapies, which achieved the best results for PTSD improvement in burn patients. Hypnosis and an informational education program were also evaluated and did not show success in reducing PTSD.
