METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with two herbal plasters Tangshang-xiaobagao and Jingwanhong in 57 hospitalized burn patients. Both the effect and safety of two herbal plasters were noted in patients with partial thickness burns. RESTULTS In superficial second degree burns, the 7 d healing rate of both groups was (61.35+/-36.26)%and (51.21+/-37.24)% and the healing time (10.56+/-3.43)d and (11.98+/-4.13)d P<0.05 respectively. While in deep second degree burns, the 14 d healing rate of both groups was (62.9+/-36.0) % and (53.9+/-32.2) % and the healing time (19.4+/-4.9)d and (21.5+/-5.5)d, respectively. Study group had lower VAS(visual analogue scale)score than control group. No obvious side effects were observed in study group. CONCLUSION: Tangshangxiaobagao is safe and may be an effective adjunct for treatment of partial thickness burn wounds.
