Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The area of keloid lesions. Timepoint: The area of keloid lesions is measured at the beginning of the study, before each carboxytherapy session and 2 weeks after the last carboxytherapy session. Method of measurement: The area of the keloid lesions is measured with grid paper. For this purpose, we put transparent oil paper on the desired lesion and mark its border. Then we transfer it to checkered paper with carbon paper and estimate the area of the lesion by counting the squares.;Height of keloid lesions. Timepoint: The height of keloid lesions is measured at the beginning of the study, before each carboxytherapy session and 2 weeks after the last carboxytherapy session. Method of measurement: The height of the target lesion in the thickest part in the peripheral area is calculated with the help of a ruler. For this purpose, with the help of a caliper, one tip of which is tangent to the base of the keloid and one tip is tangent to its surface, we determine the height of the lesion and adjust the distance between the two tips to the ruler.;Patient satisfaction in terms of pain level. Timepoint: Patients' satisfaction in terms of pain level is evaluated during each carboxytherapy session. Method of measurement: The evaluation of pain is done with the Visual Analogue Scale. | — |
