Article Synopsis
  • This study explored the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in improving hypertrophic scar regeneration after skin grafting through a double-blind, randomized trial with 48 participants.
  • Results indicated that the ESWT group showed significant improvements in scar thickness and erythema compared to the control group, as well as increased sebum levels, while no significant differences were found in melanin levels or skin elasticity.
  • The findings suggest ESWT has beneficial effects on the characteristics of burn-related scars, marking it as the first study to utilize objective measurement tools in this context.
