The Efficacy of Duct Tape vs Cryotherapy in The Treatment of Verruca Vulgaris (The Common Wart)
20th May 2024
Results: Of the 51 patients completing the study, 26 (51%) were treated with duct tape, and 25 (49%) were treated with cryotherapy. Twenty-two patients (85%) in the duct tape arm vs 15 patients (60%) enrolled in the cryotherapy arm had complete resolution of their warts (P =.05 by chi(2) analysis). The majority of warts that responded to either therapy did so within the first month of treatment.
No indication as to whether WD-40 was involved.
