Honey, known for centuries as a topical treatment for a wide range of wounds, has recently known a revival in modern wound care. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the available evidence and the role of honey in contemporary wound care. The search strategy was developed in the databases PubMed and ISI Web of Science. Fifty-five studies of any design, evaluating the use of honey in human burns, ulcers and other wounds, written in English, French, German or Dutch were eligible for inclusion. In all three wound categories honey seems to be a dressing with wound healing stimulating properties. In burns there is also evidence for its antibacterial capacity. In general, honey is also been mentioned to have deodorizing, debridement, anti-inflammatory and wound pain reducing properties, although the evidence for these properties is rather limited. Many of the included studies have methodological problems, and the quality of certain studies is low, making it difficult to formulate conclusive guidelines. This review reveals several gaps in the research of honey in modern wound care, and recommendations are suggested for future research.
亲爱的，蜂蜜作为一种局部治疗各种伤口的方法，已经有几个世纪的历史了，最近在现代伤口护理中又重新流行起来。本系统评价的目的是评估现有的证据以及蜂蜜在当代伤口护理中的作用。搜索策略在 PubMed 和 ISI Web of Science 数据库中制定。共有 55 项研究符合纳入标准，这些研究设计各异，评估了蜂蜜在人类烧伤、溃疡和其他伤口中的应用，这些研究用英语、法语、德语或荷兰语写成。在所有三种伤口类型中，蜂蜜似乎都具有促进伤口愈合的敷料特性。在烧伤中，它也具有抗菌能力的证据。一般来说，蜂蜜还具有除臭、清创、抗炎和减轻伤口疼痛的特性，尽管这些特性的证据相当有限。许多纳入的研究都存在方法学问题，某些研究的质量较低，因此很难制定出结论性的指南。本综述揭示了蜂蜜在现代伤口护理研究中的几个空白，并为未来的研究提出了建议。
