Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare and test the efficacy of two treatments for plantar warts. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Which treatment has a higher cure rate for eliminating plantar warts? Which treatment causes less pain during the procedure?

Participants with plantar warts will:

Be randomly assigned to receive either cryotherapy or laser therapy Undergo 4 treatment sessions at weekly intervals Have their warts assessed for complete clearance after treatment Rate their pain levels during each session

Researchers will compare the cryotherapy and laser therapy groups to see if there are differences in:

Rates of complete wart clearance Pain levels reported during treatment Adverse effects

Conditions

  • Warts of Foot

Interventions

OTHER
