Botox vs. shock waves: new hope for Kids' burn scars

This study tested two different treatments to improve thick, raised scars (called hypertrophic scars) on the hands of children who had been burned. Researchers compared Botox injections with shock wave therapy, both given alongside standard physical therapy, to see which better improved wrist movement, grip strength, and the appearance of the scar. The trial involved 60 children aged 6 to 18 who had scars from hand burns that were at least 90 days healed.
