简要总结
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of (LLLT) on donor site wound healing following skin graft surgery.
BACKGROUND:
The skin graft is a beneficial reconstructive technique for accelerating wound healing .Managing donor site after graft harvesting is very important, and often, patients have more discomfort at the donor site than the recipient burn site itself.Using techniques that accelerate wound healing may enhance patient satisfaction.
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used in several medical fields, including healing of diabetic, surgical, and pressure ulcers.
Accelerating the healing process and reducing pain during healing are beneficial for the following reasons: faster return to work, lower risk of wound infection, improved quality of life, and possibly reduced need for analgesia.
HYPOTHESES:
It is hypothesized that:
Low level laser therapy has a positive effect on donor site wound healing following skin graft surgery in burned patients.
RESEARCH QUESTION:
Is low level laser therapy has a positive effect on donor site healing following skin graft surgery in burned patients?
