ABSTRACT
Deep burns damage the reticular dermis and may lead to the formation of hypertrophic scars. Compression therapy reduces local vascularity and realigns collagen fibers, resulting in esthetic and functional improvements. This study evaluated the effect of Kinesio tape compression with maximum mechanical tension on vascularity, pliability and the height of hypertrophic scars following deep burns. A single blind, randomized pilot clinical trial was carried out. The elastic compression of Kinesio tape was applied at maximum stretch in the intervention group (n=11) and no stretch in the sham group (n=11). Vascularity, pliability and height (the primary outcomes) were evaluated at 0, 45 and 90 days using the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS). The association between the VSS scores, the intervention and the evaluation moment were analyzed using linear mixed-effects regression models, while comparisons of means between the groups were performed using the t Student test was. Significance was set at 5%. The mean VSS scores were similar between the groups. Significant improvement occurred in both groups when post-treatment and baseline scores were compared. No further improvement was found in the vascularity, pliability or height of hypertrophic scars resulting from deep burns when an elastic compression of Kinesio tape was used at maximum tension compared to lesser mechanical tension.
