Reviewing the Potential Use of Curcumin Extract for Topical Therapy Supporting Burn Wound Healing
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Wound dressing is a fundamental aspect of modern healthcare, encompassing a diverse range of materials and techniques aimed at optimizing the healing process while safeguarding against infection and further injury. By understanding the specific benefits of different types of wound dressings, healthcare professionals can optimize the healing process and improve patient outcomes
Methods: This literature review was compiled using information from numerous open access web databases. Data were compiled and analyzed.
Results and Discussions: Curcumin has the ability to improve burn wound healing. Curcumin can reduce inflammation by inhibiting proinflammatory cytokines. It also helps cell proliferation, and has an antimicrobial effect, therefore it speeds up burn wound healing and prevents keloid formation.
Conclusion: Curcumin has potential activity in speeding up burn wound healing, thanks to its anti-inflammation, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity. However, due to low solubility in water of curcumin and its instability, further research must be done to find out better form for curcumin
