Carboxytherapy Treatment for Burns in an Experimental Model
January 2012
TLDR Carboxytherapy did not significantly improve burn healing in rats.
The study investigated the effectiveness of carboxytherapy in treating burns in 24 adult Wistar rats, divided into three groups: a control group, a group receiving two sessions of carboxytherapy per week, and a group receiving three sessions per week. The histological analysis focused on fibroblast proliferation, neoangiogenesis, hair follicle proliferation, and inflammatory reactions. The results showed no statistically significant differences between the carboxytherapy groups and the control group, despite literature suggesting potential changes in tissue perfusion and collagen fibers with carboxytherapy.
