# A Study on the Efficacy of Drug-Mediated Moist Wound Healing Combined With Phototherapy in the Management of Facial Abrasion Scars

## TL;DR

This study found that combining drug-moist wound healing with phototherapy improves healing and satisfaction in treating facial scars.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is demonstrating the effectiveness of combining drug-mediated moist healing with phototherapy for facial abrasion scars.

## Key findings

- Combined treatment significantly shortened wound healing time compared to controls.
- Scar appearance improved more in the combined treatment group.
- Patient satisfaction was notably higher with the combined treatment.

## Abstract

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of drug-mediated moist wound healing combined with phototherapy in the treatment of facial abrasion scars, with a focus on improving both clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Methods

A total of 40 patients with facial abrasion scars were randomly assigned to two groups: the saline and iodophor solution group (control group) and the combined treatment group (receiving both drug-moist wound healing and photoelectric therapy). Wound healing time, scar appearance, and patient-reported outcomes were compared between the two groups.

Results

The results showed that the combined treatment group demonstrated significant advantages in promoting wound healing (t = 2.65; P < 0.05), improving scar appearance (t = 4.59, 7.48; P < 0.05), and enhancing patient satisfaction (t = 4.07, 6.87, 4.43; P < 0.05) compared to the control group.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that the combination of drug-moist wound healing and photoelectric therapy is a promising therapeutic approach for the management of facial abrasion scars. It can significantly shorten the wound healing time, improve scar appearance, and enhance patient satisfaction.
