Sponsor's own description

Pressure therapy (PT) and silicone therapy are recommended as first-line non-invasive treatment for Hypertrophic Scar (HS), yet the effectiveness of the combination of these two treatments through an RCT trial has not been established yet. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the combination of adequate pressure therapy and silicone gel sheeting implemented by Smart Scar Care Pad (SSCP) + conventional Pressure Garment (PG) versus conventional Pressure Garment (PG) alone in the management of HS in adult with total hip replacement (THR) and total knee replacement (TKR). This study also aims to find out the prevalence of hypertrophic scar among patients with THR and TKR. This study is a randomised controlled trial with two parallel arms, with allocation ratio (Experimental: Control) of 1: 1 in order to establish the superiority of SSCP + PG over PG. Subjects with hypertrophic scar will be randomly assigned to either treatment or control group. The subjects in the treatment group will be provided with the SSCP and PG for treatment, whereas the subjects in the control group will be prescribed only the PG. The treatment will last for a total of 6 months. A variety of objective outcome measures will be used to analysis the treatment effect.
