Abstract
Burns scarring is the major problem who recovers from burn injury. Hypertrophic scars can severely impair the degree of function, including job and day to day activities. The use of pressure garment therapy (PGT) is a common method of preventing and treating hypertrophic scarring which is followed worldwide. In this study, we aim to compile and evaluate research on PGT's effectiveness in treating post-burn hypertrophic scars.
