Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Scars result from the biological process of wound repair in the skin, as well as in other organs and tissues of the body. Triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) is a synthetic corticosteroid used topically to treat various skin conditions and post- operative scar pain.. The present study was conducted to assess efficacy of traimcinolone acetonide in management of scar pain. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 60 patients of both genders. For 1 inch scar, 1ml of 40 mg kenacort (triamcinolone acetonide) mixed with 1 ml of 2% of xylocaine was used. Pain was evaluated by VAS score criteria where score 0 indicated no pain and 10 indicated severe pain. Results: Out of 60 patients, males were 30 and females were 30. The mean age of males was 48.5 years and 44.2 years. VAS score in males and females was 10 pre-operatively. After injecting 1ml of 40 mg kenacort (triamcinolone acetonide) mixed with 1 ml of 2% of xylocaine, there was gradual decrease in score on day 1 (males- 8, females- 9), day 3 ((males- 4, females- 5) and day 7 (males- 1, females- 2). Conclusion: Single stat intralesional injection of kenacort is good and efficient treatment for post- operative scar pain irrespective of surgery.
