OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of topical insulin on healing time of second-degree burns.
METHODS: In this nonrandomized clinical trial, patients with second-degree burns were allocated to a control group (CG) or an intervention group (IG) in which wounds were treated with 1% silver sulfadiazine and topical insulin, respectively.
RESULTS: Healing time was significantly shorter in the IG relative to the CG (9.1 ± 1.9 days and 12.7 ± 3.3 days, respectively; P < .05). The estimated burn area was similar in both groups (CG 1.44 ± 1.0%; IG 1.42 ± 0.53%).
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, topical insulin reduced healing time in second-degree burns. Further investigation is warranted to support wider use in clinical practice.
目的:本研究的目的是探讨局部胰岛素对二度烧伤愈合时间的影响。
方法:在这项非随机临床试验中,二度烧伤患者被分为对照组(CG)或干预组(IG),其中伤口接受1%磺胺嘧啶银和局部胰岛素治疗,分别。
结果:相对于CG,IG的愈合时间显着缩短(9.1±1.9天和12.7±3.3天,分别;P<0.05)。两组的估计烧伤面积相似(CG1.44±1.0%;IG1.42±0.53%)。
结论:在这项研究中,局部胰岛素减少二度烧伤的愈合时间。有必要进行进一步的研究,以支持在临床实践中的更广泛使用。
