First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested if shock wave therapy works better than standard physical therapy for improving burn scars on the forearm. 80 adults with partial-thickness burns that had healed for at least six months took part. Researchers measured scar thickness and appearance before, after 8 weeks of treatment, and again 8 weeks later to see which approach helped more.
