Pressure garment with silicone for limb scars
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a silicone sheet to a pressure garment helps heal scars on arms or legs better than using the pressure garment alone. It also aims to find better ways to measure scar improvement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
