Botox shows promise for stubborn scars

NCT ID NCT05330078

Summary

This early study investigated whether Botox injections could help treat keloid scars—thick, raised scars that grow beyond the original injury. Researchers tested the treatment on 10 adults with long-standing keloids to see if it could reduce scar size and symptoms like itching and pain. They compared Botox to a standard steroid injection and also analyzed tissue samples to understand how it works.
