Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The use of honey for wound treatment and care purposes is based on thousands of years of history. The development of science and in vitro/in vivo studies have demonstrated that honey contributes to wound healing by showing therapeutic effects by means of the bioactive compounds it contains. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the place of honey in wound treatment by investigating the randomized controlled studies. METHOD: 30 publications which were obtained as a result of the scans in the databases and which comply with the evaluation criteria were included in the review. RESULTS: In the results of the study, it was reported that honey in acute and chronic wounds provided rapid epithelization and wound contraction in wound healing, had anti-inflammatory and debridement effect, decreased the pain, ensured infection control, shortened the time of wound healing and was cost-effective.
