Article Synopsis
- The systematic review analyzed the effectiveness of non-invasive therapies, such as massage, shockwave therapy, and laser treatment, on adults with burn scars, focusing on pain and pruritus.
- Results from 15 trials with 780 participants showed significant reductions in pain and pruritus intensity with these therapies, but only low-to-moderate evidence was found for improvements in elasticity and vascularization of scars.
- The conclusion suggests that while non-invasive therapies can effectively manage pain and itching, their impact on scar's elasticity and blood flow is less certain.
