Hypothesis
The formula and its components influence the process of closed soft tissue injury healing.
Conclusion
The ingredients in the Pain Relieving Plaster have positive effects on healing closed soft tissue injuries.
Supporting Evidence
- The PRP extracts significantly slowed down blood flow velocity in rabbit ears.
- PRP application markedly decreased edema levels from the 3rd to the 5th day.
- CSTI significantly increased blood flow velocity in the control group.
Takeaway
This study shows that a special herbal plaster can help rabbits heal from injuries on their ears.
Methodology
In vivo models were established in 30 rabbit ear pinnae to study blood flow velocity, edema formation, and local temperature changes.
Limitations
The study was conducted on rabbits, and results may not directly translate to humans.
