Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PURE MEDICAL RESEARCH - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Sesame oil is also one among the agents that are currently used to treat burns; it has shown different effects on wound healing. A similar study conducted by Kiran et al. reported a shorter length of epithelialization and wound closure in mouse treated with sesame seeds and oil compared to the control group. Method: The sample included 50 available patients in Nekuee hospital (in Qom) who were divided into two groups. The rst group consisted of 25 patients who were treated using Sesame Drop. After washing the wound with normal saline solution, 3-5 Drops of Sesame oil was applied over the wound. Results: gain in days of in-hospital stay, days needed for 50% wound healing Signicant differences were observed between sesame oil and the standard therapy with mupirocin ointment (p = 0.03) in effectiveness in total groups. Conclusion: Results suggest that Sesame Oil Drop may be considered for further investigation as a potential rst line treatment modality for facial burns.
