Can Electrical Stimulation Prevent Recurrence of Keloid Scars? A Scoping Review.

Keloids represent a symptomatic, aberrant healing process that is difficult to treat with high recurrence rates spanning from 55% to 100% if treated excision without adjuvant therapy. Electrical stimulation (ES) has demonstrated findings that suggest it could reduce the recurrence rate of keloids after resection. Therefore, the aim of this study is to conduct a scoping review to investigate ES as an adjuvant therapy for decreasing keloid recurrence after excision.
