What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Hyperthermia treatment (hyperthermia) refers to treating diseases with temperature (39-45 ° C) beyond normal body temperature,. It has been reported that local warming at 44 ° C is able to effectively mobilize the body's immunity and clear HPV infected lesions, such as condyloma acuminatum and verruca vulgaris, etc. Significant progress has been made in the application of hyperthermia for viral skin diseases. Clinically, the addition of hydrogen peroxide solution can enhance the efficacy of hyperthermia in treating HPV infection. As a common transdermal drug delivery method, microneedles can increase drug penetration and thereby further improve treatment outcomes. Based on these findings, this study aims to explore an adjunctive approach to hyperthermia for treating viral warts to further enhance therapeutic efficacy.
This study employs a randomized, parallel-group, assessor-blinded des
