To evaluate the clinical utility of tamoxifen in the prevention of hypertrophic scars (HTSs).
In a double-blind randomized clinical trial, 300 patients with a history of HTSs who underwent surgery with different skin incisions were assigned randomly to two groups. The first received tamoxifen tablets postoperatively according to a standard protocol, and the control group received placebo. After 2 months, the two groups were compared according to the development of HTSs, and the results were analyzed.
The studied population comprised 235 men (78.7%) and 65 women (21.7%) who developed HTSs after surgical incision, 138 of whom (92%) were in the study group and 78 (52%) in the control group.
Tamoxifen seems to be an effective agent in the prevention of HTSs after surgery.
评估他莫昔芬在预防肥厚性瘢痕(HTSs)中的临床应用价值。
在一项双盲随机临床试验中,将 300 例有 HTSs 病史、接受不同皮肤切口手术的患者随机分为两组。第一组根据标准方案术后接受他莫昔芬片治疗,对照组给予安慰剂。2 个月后,根据 HTSs 的发展情况对两组进行比较,并分析结果。
研究人群包括 235 名男性(78.7%)和 65 名女性(21.7%),他们在手术后切口处形成了 HTSs,其中 138 名(92%)在研究组,78 名(52%)在对照组。
他莫昔芬似乎是预防手术后 HTSs 的有效药物。
