Cedrus deodara: In Vivo Investigation of Burn Wound Healing Properties

Table 4

Wound healing activity of the methanol extract of C. deodara based on wound contraction^a.

Wound contraction (%)^b	Day 7	Day 14	Day 21
P	33.6 ± 8.9^ns	87.1 ± 3.9	93.4 ± 2.4
O	20.1 ± 7.4^ns	77.9 ± 2.8^ns	80.2 ± 2.3
NC	23.1 ± 7.4^ns	73.04 ± 2.5	78.15 ± 0.4
PC	27.6 ± 16.4	80.71 ± 2.4	88.35 ± 2.0

^aHealing activity was investigated using a burn wound model: O = group treated with ointment base with no extract, P = group treated with topical ointment containing extract, NC = group treated with nothing and only dressed in sterile gauze, and PC = positive control. ^bReported as mean ± SD. Mean values within each group were compared with PC as the positive control: ns = not significant, , , and .
