Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical curative effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) combined with ultrasound on pathological scars in early intervention.Methods:A total of 102 patients with pathologic scars admitted to the outpatient and the inpatient departments of Wuyi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from June 2017 to November 2019 were randomly divided into ultrasound group, HBO group, and HBO+ ultrasound group, with 34 patients in each group. The ultrasound group only received ultrasound treatment; the HBO group only received HBO therapy; the HBO+ ultrasound group received HBO therapy combined with ultrasound treatment. Before and after treatment, Vancouver scar scale (VSS), visual analogue scale (VAS), and the patient and observer scar assessment scale (POSAS) were used to evaluate scar healing.Results:After 6 courses of treatment, the total scores of VSS, VAS, and POSAS in the three groups were significantly lower than those before treatment ( P<0.05). Compared with the ultrasound group and the HBO group after treatment, the total scores of VSS, VAS, and POSAS of the HBO+ ultrasound group were significantly lower ( P<0.05). After 6 courses of treatment, within the ultrasound group, comparing the scores of VSS, VAS, and POSAS of the patients with total body surface area (TBSA) 2.1%-5.0% with those of the patients with TBSA 1.1%-2.0% and with the patients with 0.5%-1.0%, there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). In both the HBO group and the HBO+ ultrasound group, the VSS, VAS, and POSAS scores of the patients with TBSA 2.1%-5.0% were significantly higher than those of the patients with TBSA 1.1%-2.0% and 0.5%-1.0%; and all the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:HBO combined with ultrasound treatment can achieve a significant curative effect on pathological scars in early intervention, which is worthy of clinical application.
