Plasma Therapy for Scar Management

Résumé succinct

This study is a prospective, multicenter, real-world observational study. It aims to evaluate whether adding plasma device therapy to standard scar care is effective and safe for treating various types of scars, including hypertrophic scars, keloids, atrophic scars, postoperative scars, burn scars, and post-traumatic scars. A total of 400 patients receiving standard scar care plus plasma therapy will be enrolled from multiple hospitals across China. Their outcomes will be compared with 400 matched patients who received standard scar care alone. The main outcomes include change in Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) score, pruritus relief, pain relief, scar thickness reduction, patient satisfaction, recurrence rate at 6 months, and any side effects. Patients will be followed for up to 6 months after treatment completion.
