“…As well, burn therapy research including splinting and stretching have been studied for many years with little consensus [13]. Based on the results of this study, we recommend that future studies related to burn stretch or other treatment modalities are standardized to include an intervention time of at least 48 min per treatment of each affected area under investigation.…”

“…Hypertrophic scars are severe problems after thermal injuries. Scar contractures develop and extend to the underlying connective tissue and then muscles, leading to a reduction in joint range of motion and affecting the day-to-day activities [1].…”

“…Application of low-frequency ultrasound (20-100 kHz) enhances skin permeability more efficiently than high-frequency ultrasound (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). The mechanism of transdermal permeation involves a breakdown of the stratum corneum lipids, therefore allowing the drug to pass via the skin.…”

Introduction. Hypertrophic scars and keloids are physically and mentally disturbing, and can cause pain and itching. Various treatment is utilized to diminish or counteract scarring. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of silicone gel, Contractubex gel, and corticosteroid phonophoresis for post-burn hypertrophic scars. Methods. A prospective, single-blind, randomized, controlled study with pretest-posttest design was performed; 45 patients aged 20-45 years with hypertrophic scars, 2-4 months post thermal burn were involved. They were randomly assigned to 3 groups: group A (15 patients, 8 males and 7 females) received phonophoresis with silicone gel, group B (15 patients, 8 males and 7 females) received phonophoresis with Contractubex gel, and group C (15 patients, 9 males and 6 females) received corticosteroid phonophoresis. All treatment interventions were applied at the frequency of 3 sessions/week for 24 weeks. The participants were recruited from the Kasr El-Ani hospital outpatient clinic to be treated in the outpatient clinic, Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University. Results. outcome measures were taken with the modified Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) before the treatment, and 12 and 24 weeks after the intervention. The comparison among the 3 groups revealed a highly significant decrease in modified VSS total score in group A compared with group B and group C (p < 0.01), as well as in group B compared with group C (p < 0.001). Conclusions. Silicone gel phonophoresis is a more effective method for post-burn hypertrophic scar management than Contractubex gel phonophoresis or corticosteroid phonophoresis.
