Summary

This study tested two treatments—botulinum toxin-A injections and shock wave therapy—to see which works better for improving hand movement and reducing scarring in children with burn scars on their hands. Sixty children aged 6 to 18 took part. The goal was to ease symptoms and improve hand function, not to cure the burns.
