Use of nigella sativa in preventing hypertrophic scar formation

Mohd Basri, Kamalruzaman (2015) Use of nigella sativa in preventing hypertrophic scar formation. [Student Project] (Unpublished)

Abstract

This study was primarily attempted to develop the formation of hypertrophic scar by means of mechanical stress on the burn wound area. Additionally, Nigella Sativa oil was applied on the wound in order to examine its ability to prevent the scar formation. Partial thickness burn wound was induced on the dorsal region of rats. Three groups of rats were randomly divided into 6 per group as normal, control and rats receiving Nigella Sativa oil. Wound morphology, wound size and histological evaluation were performed. Formation of hypertrophic scar was delayed due to inadequate mechanical stress and limited duration of study. However, rats that treated with Nigella Sativa oil showed the ability to minimize the formation of normal scar.
