Abstract
Background: The degree of tissue damage in burn wounds caused by inflammatory and immunological sequelae poses a considerable clinical treatment problem. chronic wounds frequently feature a significant bioburden and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This review article focuses on current research results linked to phototherapy, which is thought to be effective for regulating wound bioburden and supporting healing.Purpose: The study’s goal is to compare the therapeutic efficacy of polarised light treatment (BLT) vs low-level laser therapy (Ga-As laser) on wound healing and determine whether one is more successful and faster at repairing burnt wounds.Subject and Methods:Thirty patients with forearm partial thickness thermal burns (dermal burns) participated in this research. They were chosen from the Legislation Association Hospital’s Burns and Oncology Burn Unit. Patients aged in the range from 25 to 35 years and were randomly divided into two equal groupsstudy group(A) comprised of fifteen patients who received BLT, and study group(B) comprised of fifteen patients who received LLLT. In addition, both categoriess received traditional physical therapy routines and conservative treatment for the burn wound three times per week for four weeks. Data from both groupson wound surface area and colony count was statistically examined and compared. Results: In groupsA and B, there was a substantial decrease in wound surface area and colony count after therapy compared to before treatment (p > 0.001). The percent decrease in wound surface area and colony count in category A was 55.1 and 38.63 percent, respectively, whereas it was 37.92 and 15.6 percent in groupB. Conclusion: Both polarised light treatment and low-level laser therapy have a therapeutic efficiency on wound healing, although BLT is more efficient and faster in speeding healing of burnt wounds
