A Clinical Study on the Safety and Efficacy of Wide-Band Ultrasound Combined With Traditional Chinese Medicine Preparations in the Prevention and Treatment of Keloids (WBUS +TCM)

25 июня 2026 г. обновлено: Fujian Medical University Union Hospital

The prevention and treatment of patients with multiple keloids throughout the body are extremely challenging. Keloids are highly resistant, refractory, and prone to recurrence, and are thus known as the "cancer that does not kill". At present, the main clinical strategy for such patients is staged surgical resection, followed by adjuvant local radiotherapy. When signs of recurrence appear, local injection of triamcinolone acetonide plus 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) is administered as supplementary treatment. However, these two combination therapies have obvious limitations.

Adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy is associated with a high incidence of local skin adverse reactions, including radiodermatitis and delayed wound healing. Late complications may occur weeks or months after treatment, such as permanent hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation, skin atrophy, fibrosis, scabbing and desquamation, and intractable ulcers. In addition, radiotherapy is not suitable for some young female patients and children when keloids are located near organs such as the thyroid gland and gonads.

Injection of triamcinolone acetonide plus 5-Fu causes significant pain and requires repeated sessions. Potential risks include local ulceration, hyperpigmentation, telangiectasia, and menstrual irregularities in female patients. Therefore, there is an urgent clinical need for a pathological scar prevention and treatment technique that can rapidly relieve discomfort, promote scar atrophy, cause no secondary injury, carry low risks, have a short recovery period, provide high comfort during treatment, and be applicable to large-area or multiple pathological scars across the body.

Our research team previously observed in clinical practice that wide-band ultrasound (Universal Beauty® Type I Ultrasound Therapeutic Device) combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations can release abnormally accumulated and contracted collagen fibers in scar tissue via ultrasonic energy. Meanwhile, ultrasound promotes the penetration of TCM into scar lesions, exerting effects of infection control, inflammation inhibition, subsidence of redness and swelling, and relief of itching and pain.

Compared with conventional scar therapies, this approach achieves rapid symptom control, no secondary damage, no obvious side effects, a short recovery period, and high treatment comfort. It shows particularly significant advantages for large-area or multiple pathological scars throughout the body that are difficult to treat with traditional methods. Preliminary treatment in a small number of volunteers with multiple keloids has achieved satisfactory outcomes without obvious adverse reactions.

The purpose of this study is to verify the efficacy and safety of wide-band ultrasound combined with TCM preparation (Chuang Li Fu) in the prevention and treatment of keloids through this clinical trial.

Подробное описание

In this study design, surgically excised keloids were randomly assigned to 4 groups:

Blank control group (Group 0#) Ultrasound + TCM preparation group (Group 1#) Ultrasound + normal saline group (Group 2#) TCM gauze external application alone group (Group 3#) All treatments were administered once every 3 days, for a total of 10 sessions.After treatment, all keloid tissues were surgically removed and subjected to pathological examination to evaluate efficacy.

At 1 week after suture removal, all incisions received intervention with wide-band ultrasound combined with TCM preparations.Treatment was performed once every other week, for a total of 12 sessions.Subsequently, follow-up was conducted once monthly until 12 months after the last intervention.
