oil, ultrasound, and moist-exposed burn ointment (MEBO) have been suggested as noninvasive treatments for a number of inflammatory conditions and to accelerate wound healing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of pulsed and continuous modes of ultrasound either alone or through phonophoresis, with oil, or MEBO ointment in the treatment of chemical burns.
Thirty-five local rabbits were randomly divided into seven equal groups: pulsed ultrasound, continuous ultrasound, topical oil, pulsed phonophoresis, continuous phonophoresis, topical MEBO ointment, and control group. Wound surface area was measured on days 0, 7, 14, and 21 using metric graph paper and photographs.
Significant differences were found between pre- and post-treatment wounds in all groups, except for the control group, in favor of the pulsed phonophoresis. In contrast, low results were found in favor of continuous ultrasound.
Ultrasound, topical application of N. oil, phonophoresis, and MEBO ointment have the potential to accelerate wound healing induced by chemical burns. Such treatment modalities may be used to treat wounds.
油、超声和湿润烧伤膏(MEBO)已被建议作为多种炎症性疾病的无创治疗方法,并用于加速伤口愈合。本研究的目的是评估单独使用脉冲和连续模式的超声,或通过超声透入疗法结合油或MEBO膏治疗化学烧伤的效果。
35只本地兔子被随机分为7个相等的组:脉冲超声组、连续超声组、局部用油组、脉冲超声透入疗法组、连续超声透入疗法组、局部用MEBO膏组和对照组。在第0、7、14和21天,使用米制方格纸和照片测量伤口表面积。
除对照组外,所有组治疗前后的伤口均有显著差异,脉冲超声透入疗法效果最佳。相比之下,连续超声组的效果较差。
超声、局部应用油、超声透入疗法和MEBO膏有可能加速化学烧伤所致伤口的愈合。这些治疗方式可用于治疗伤口。
