Effectiveness and Tolerability of an Overnight 4-week Treatment With Patch Containing Onion Extract and Allantoin for Cesarean Section Scars
In Brief
An observational study evaluating patch for Cesarean Section; Dehiscence and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 93 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The wound healing is a process occurring in response to dermal injury. The resulting scar may have various characteristics ranging from fine-line and asymptomatic to hypertrophic scars and keloids. Prevention or early treatment of pathological scars is the most appropriate approach. Among available remedies, gels and patches containing onion extract and allantoin have been demonstrated to be safe and effective in patients with scars of various origins and severity. One of the most used natural products is a patch containing allium cepa and allantoin licensed for treatment of the scars including keloids. However, up to date, no controlled studies have evaluated the effects of such a device in women who have undergone Cesarean delivery. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of this patch on Cesarean section (C-section) scars.
