Experimental observations suggest that therapeutic ultrasound stimulates wound healing. Despite the controversy concerning its efficiency, this procedure is commonly implemented. To study the effect of this treatment in burns, we conducted a randomized control trail in 20 Fischer rats. Two groups of 10 animals each were studied, In group 1 the experimental burn was treated with pulsed ultrasound (SATA 0.25 W/cm2), in group 2 with continuous ultrasound (0.3 W/cm2). No stimulating effect of ultrasound could be demonstrated in these two groups, monitored by histological examination and a size index. These results discourage the clinical administration of therapeutic ultrasound to enhance the healing of burns.
实验观察表明，治疗性超声可促进伤口愈合。尽管对其疗效存在争议，但该方法仍被广泛应用。为研究这种治疗方法对烧伤的影响，我们对20只Fischer大鼠进行了一项随机对照试验。将大鼠分为两组，每组10只。第1组对实验性烧伤采用脉冲超声治疗（声强0.25W/cm²），第2组采用连续超声治疗（声强0.3W/cm²）。通过组织学检查和大小指数监测发现，两组均未显示出超声的刺激效果。这些结果不支持在临床上应用治疗性超声来促进烧伤愈合。
