简要总结
The purpose of this study will be to compare the effect of hydrocortisone iontophoresis and hydrocortisone phonophoresis on the treatment of surgical scar and overall scar appearance.
详细描述
Scar contractures develop and extend to the underlying connective tissue and then muscles, leading to reduction in joint range of motion and affecting the day-to-day activities.
Most patients (irrespective of age, gender and ethnicity) believe that even a small improvement in scarring is worthwhile , any research that may help improve scar outcome is meaningful.
The need of this study has developed from the rarity of information about the difference between the effectiveness of iontophoresis and phonophoresis in enhancing the overall appearance of surgical scar.
