“…Although both groups show significant reduction in periwound edema, difference between two groups was not statistically significant (p>0.05) (Table 3). Gandhi et al, 2016, in his study to compare the effectiveness of chlorhexidine dressing with traditional gauze dressing found that there is decreased incidence of fever and frequency of infection in chlorhexidine dressings [8]. The frequency with which the dressing had to be changed was also reduced.…”

Objective: The objective of the study is to compare the effect of superoxide solution (SOD) and chlorhexidine gluconate on wound healing. Methods: Hundred patients with different types of wounds were recruited in this study and randomized to two groups: Group A- SOD group and Group B- Chlorhexidine group. Observations were made regarding type of wounds, reduction of edema, culture of wounds, improvement, cure rates, and hospital stay. Results: Although there were no significant difference in the reduction of edema and swelling of wound in both groups, the cure rates were statistically better with SOD (p=0.001) and hospital stay was also less with the use of SOD (p=0.006). Conclusion: SOD treated case showed less morbidity, with more improvement, and more cure rate compared to chlorhexidine solution with statistically significant p-value. However, further research into the use of SOD and the cytotoxic nature of chlorhexidine in the treatment of various wounds is required.
