Commentary on ‘Effects of scar massage on burn scars: A systematic review and meta‐analysis’.

A commentary on the effects of scar massage on burn scars was published in the Journal of Clinical Nursing. The study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental trials to investigate the physical and psychological effects of scar massage on burn victims. The findings showed that scar massage greatly improves scar development and lessens anxiety and itching in burn patients. The study suggests that non-pharmacological techniques, such as massage therapy, can help reduce discomfort and anxiety in burn sufferers. However, further research is needed to address limitations in the included studies and to compare the effects of different types of massage therapy. [Extracted from the article]
