To assess the efficacy of Aloe Vera gel compared with 1% silver sulfadiazine cream as a burn dressing for the treatment of superficial and partial thickness burns.
This Interventional Comparative study was carried out at the Burn unit and Plastic surgery department, Nishtar Hospital Multan, Pakistan from July 2008 to December 2010. A total of 50 patients with superficial and partial thickness burns were divided into two equal groups randomly by consecutive sampling method, one group was dressed with Aloe Vera gel while the other was treated with 1% silversulphadiazine cream, and the results regarding duration of wound epithelialization, pain relief and cost of treatment were compared.
In patients treated with Aloe Vera gel, healing of burn wounds were remarkably early than those patients treated with 1% silver sulfadiazine. All the patients of Aloe Vera group were relieved of pain earlier than those patients who were treated with SSD.
Thermal burns patients dressed with Aloe Vera gel showed advantage compared to those dressed with SSD regarding early wound epithelialization, earlier pain relief and cost-effectiveness.
评估与1%磺胺嘧啶银乳膏相比，芦荟凝胶作为烧伤敷料治疗浅度和部分深度烧伤的疗效。
本干预性对照研究于2008年7月至2010年12月在巴基斯坦木尔坦尼什塔尔医院烧伤科和整形外科进行。采用连续抽样法将50例浅度和部分深度烧伤患者随机分为两组，一组用芦荟凝胶换药，另一组用1%磺胺嘧啶银乳膏治疗，比较伤口上皮化持续时间、疼痛缓解情况和治疗费用等结果。
用芦荟凝胶治疗的患者，烧伤创面愈合明显早于用1%磺胺嘧啶银治疗的患者。芦荟凝胶组所有患者疼痛缓解均早于用磺胺嘧啶银治疗的患者。
与用磺胺嘧啶银换药的热烧伤患者相比，用芦荟凝胶换药的患者在伤口早期上皮化、更早缓解疼痛和成本效益方面显示出优势。
