Abstract :

 Objective: To find out the efficacy of therapeutic ultrasound in hypertrophic scars.

 

Methods: Thirty subjects having hypertrophic scars were randomly allocated to control and experimental groups. They were evaluated for Vancouver Scar Scale Scores on 0– day (before the treatment started) and at the end of 4^th week. Both groups were advised for scar massage and application of silicone sheet in common. However therapeutic ultrasound was received by the experimental group in addition.

 

Results: Statistical analysis showed non– significant gain in Vancouver Scar Scale Scores at 0 day – 4 week period.

 

Conclusion: Therapeutic ultrasound is not effective in hypertrophic scars.
