Abstract
To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of silver sulfadiazine iontophoresis and to detect if SSD was more effective and better than the other in accelerating healing of the burn wounds. 30 male patients with partial thickness thermal burn (superficial and deep) on the forearm with total body TBSA less than 30% were divided into two groups. group (A) received SSD cream with traditional physical therapy program session day after day for three successive weeks), the second experimental group (B) received SSD iontophoresis (20 mins per session day after day for three successive weeks). Both groups received the same medical care for second degree bum and traditional physical therapy. Of evaluation (wound surface area: for tracing the wound perimeter). Result showed that both SSD cream and SSD iontophoresis were effective in healing the second degree burn wound but the SSD iontophoresis was more effective than SSD cream only therapy. Both modalities were effective in burn wound healing but SSD iontophoresis was more effective than SSD only
