Published: July 5, 2024

Wound healing can result in complex problems, and discovering an effective method to improve the process is essential. Polymeric biomaterials have structures similar those identified extracellular matrix of tissue be regenerated also avoid chronic inflammation, immunological reactions. To obtain smart dressings, bioactive agents, such as essential oils, are used promote a wide range biological properties, which accelerate process. Therefore, we intend explore advances potential for applying hybrid materials wound healing. For this, fifty scientific articles dated from 2010 2023 were investigated using Web Science, Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed databases. The principles process, use polymers, type properties oils processing techniques, characteristics dressings identified. Thus, plants Syzygium romanticum or Eugenia caryophyllata, Origanum vulgare, Cinnamomum zeylanicum present prospects application clinical trials due their proven effects on reducing incidence inflammatory cells site injury. antimicrobial effect mainly polyphenols terpenes eugenol, cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol, thymol.

Efficacy of lavender essential oil aromatherapy in reducing anxiety and pain in patients undergoing prostate biopsy: an interventional study

Working Paper of Public Health, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: March 4, 2025

Background: prostate biopsy can cause physical and psychological discomfort, such as pain anxiety. Aromatherapy with lavender oil has been suggested to reduce these symptoms. This study evaluated the effectiveness of essential aromatherapy in reducing anxiety patients undergoing biopsy. Materials Methods: multicentre, randomised, non-pharmacological trial involving 50 patients. The experimental group (n=25) received before surgery, while control standard care. Anxiety was measured Hamilton Rating Scale (HAM-A), Numerical (NRS), patient satisfaction a Likert scale. Results: showed significant reduction (10 points vs 3 group). Pain decreased significantly (from 6.2 2.1, p<0.05) 6.0 4.5). Patient higher (mean 8.7 6.3, p<0.05). Conclusions: reduces during biopsy, improving satisfaction.
