Summary

This study aims to assess if laser treatment can cure fungal infection in toenails.

Nail clippings from eligible subjects were obtained and randomised into two groups. All nail clippings were treated once with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG-laser. Before and after treatment, nail clippings were tested for fungal infection by microscopy and by culture.

Conditions

  • Onychomycosis of Toenail

Interventions

DEVICE

1064 nm Nd:YAG-laser therapy

All interventions and mycological tests for each subject were performed over the course of one day. After subjects were included, toenails with a clinical suspicion of OM were tested for fungal infection by culture and microscopy. At the same time, nail clippings from said toenails were obtained and randomised into one of two treatment groups, i.e., group A and group B. The nail clippings were then treated with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG-laser with laser settings as specified by the treatment groups. All nail clippings were treated only once. Immediately after treatment, nail clippings were again tested for fungal infection by culture and microscopy.
