Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effects of electroacupuncture and laserpuncture on healing skin wounds in female Wistar rats.
- Ninety rats were divided into three groups: control, electroacupuncture, and laserpuncture, and evaluated over a 21-day period for various histological and biochemical changes.
- Both electroacupuncture and laserpuncture enhanced healing by increasing fibroblast numbers and new blood vessels compared to the control, although they showed different effects on collagen types and growth factors over the experimental timeline.
