Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness triamcinolone acetonide phonophoresis versus transcutanous electrical nerve stimulation in the treatment of post-burn pruritus. Methodology: Forty patients with post burn pruritus participated and completed the study. The patients were randomized into two groups of equal number. TAP group: received Triamcinolone Acetonide Phonophoresis, and TENS group received Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. Results: Revealed a highly significant differences pre and post treatment in TAP and TENS group as regard to degree of pruritus ( p values 0.05 ).
