Pressure-garment therapy for preventing hypertrophic scarring after burn injury

CONCLUSIONS: There is insufficient evidence to recommend using either PGT or an alternative for preventing hypertrophic scarring after burn injury. PGT is already commonly used in practice and it is possible that continuing to do so may provide some benefit to some people. However, until more evidence becomes available, it may be appropriate to allow patient preference to guide therapy.PMID:38189494 | PMC:PMC10772976 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD013530.pub2
