Zusammenfassung:Provided is the use of an agonist of a GABAA receptor for use in the prevention, reduction or inhibition of scarring formed on healing of a wound. Also provided is a method of preventing, reducing or inhibiting scarring formed on healing of a wound, in which a therapeutically effective amount of an agonist of a GABAA receptor is administered to a patient in need of such prevention, reduction or inhibition. The GABAA receptor agonist used may be an agonist specific to the GABAA receptor, such as Gaboxadol (7-tetra hydroisoxazolo[5,4-c]pyridin-3-ol), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The scarring to be prevented, reduced or inhibited may be scarring formed on healing of a wound of the dermis.
