Official title
Double-Blind, Randomized Control Trial To Evaluate the Efficacy of Duct Tape Versus Placebo for the Treatment of Verruca Vulgaris
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is a double-blinded, controlled clinical intervention trial to evaluate the efficacy of duct tape occlusions therapy for the treatment of common warts. 80 patients completed this study, and were randomized 1:1 to receive pads which contained either moleskin+transparent duct tape or moleskin alone. The patients wore the pad over the target wart for 7 days at a time, removed the pad on the evening of the 7th day, and replaced the pad on the 8th day. This cycle was repeated for 8 weeks or until the wart resolved. The hypothesis was that duct tape occlusion therapy would be more therapeutic than moleskin for the treatment of the common wart. However, in our study there was only 21% resolution rate in the duct tape arm vs. 22% in the control group.
