Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A comparative study of various modalities in the treatment of keloids.
Treatment of keloids is a challenge as a result of paucity of effective treatment modalities, significant side effects, and their recurrent nature. In this study, various treatment modalities were compared to search for a treatment option with maximum efficacy and minimum side effects. ⋯ Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide, intralesional triamcinolone acetonide with hyaluronidase, and intralesional radiofrequency with triamcinolone acetonide are effective modalities for the treatment of keloids. However, intralesional triamcinolone acetonide with hyaluronidase fares better than other two as far as safety is concerned with least side effects.
