Comparing the Effects of Topical Application of Honey and Nitrofurazone Ointment on the Treatment of Second-degree Burns with Limited Area: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract

Background: Burn is among the problems, which leads to numerous health and financial side effects for the patients and their families. The high costs of new dressings and burn rehabilitation have resulted in the increased tendency of researchers toward using complementary therapies and cost-effective ingredients such as honey with natural origin. Regarding this, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of topical use of honey and Nitrofurazone ointment on superficial second-degree burn healing.
