초록

Objectives : This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of incisional needle therapy, a type of Korean medicine treatment, on atrophic scars caused by herpes zoster and varicella. Methods : The patients with atrophic scars resulting from herpes zoster and varicella were treated with incisional needle therapy and the effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated with Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) and The Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Score (SBSES). Results : After treatment, all patients demonstrated improvements in PGA and SBSES. The PGA score improved to 3.73±0.40, with SBSES changing from 1.60±0.60 to 4.80±0.80. Conclusions : We suggest that incisional needle therapy demonstrates effectiveness in treating scars resulting from herpes zoster and varicella, indicating its potential as a viable therapeutic option for individuals affected by these conditions.
