Abstract
The objective of this case study is to evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in treating scalp wounds caused by electric burns. A thorough examination of the scalp wound was conducted both before and after administering LLLT. The findings suggest that LLLT plays a beneficial role in the healing process of superficial ulcers. Specifically, the application of LLLT (as depicted in Figure 1) demonstrated promising results in facilitating the healing of raw areas on the scalp following electric burn injuries. Low-level laser therapy emerges as a promising modality for managing electric burn wounds on the scalp. Through clinical observation and analysis, it becomes evident that LLLT contributes positively to the healing process of superficial ulcers. The utilization of LLLT, as illustrated in Figure 1, exhibits notable effectiveness in promoting the recovery of raw areas resulting from electric burns on the scalp. This case report aims to assess the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in managing scalp wounds caused by electric burns. Through a comprehensive clinical assessment conducted before and after the application of LLLT, it is evident that this therapeutic approach holds significant potential in fostering the healing of superficial ulcers. Notably, the use of LLLT, as depicted in Figure 1, demonstrates promising outcomes in addressing raw areas on the scalp subsequent to electric burn injuries.
