Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of Hyperthermia and Hydrogen Peroxide 3% in the Treatment of Cutaneous Warts

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Hydrogen Peroxide 3 % Topical Solution: Dressing: Like the Local Hyperthermia Group, use a cotton ball soaked in 3% hydrogen peroxide. Irradiation: For seven sessions in three weeks, use simulated infrared light (without heat) with the same frequency as the Local Hyperthermia Group. Local Hyperthermia treats the target warts(largest and most severe warts), while medication addresses all warts.

Local Hyperthermia at 44℃: (Patent No: ZL 200820231952.4, Model: YY-WRY-V01, Liaoning Yanyang Medical Instrument Co., Ltd., China) An infrared hyperthermia device was used to apply local hyperthermia at 44°C to the largest wart. The device includes a heating source, an infrared temperature monitor, an adjusting arm, a control circuit for temperature stabilization, and a display. It uses a tungsten-halogen lamp (wavelength: 760-2300 nm, peak at 1200 nm) to maintain the temperature of a 0.5\*0.5 cm skin area within ±0.1°C using a non-contact infrared feedback system.Hyperthermia: Conduct 44-degree Celsius, 30-minute sessions. Do it daily for the first 3 days, then 2 sessions every 7 days for 3 weeks, for a total of 7 sessions. Dressing: Apply a cotton ball soaked in 0.9% saline to the warts, wrap it with plastic film for 1 hour, and do this once a day for 6 weeks. Local Hyperthermia treats the target warts(largest and most severe warts), while medication addresses all warts.

Study summary

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.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a commonly used disinfectant for skin debridement. It has been reported that high concentration of H2O2 (45% H2O2) is effective in the treatment of warts vulgaris, however, high concentration of H2O2 will cause more local pain, itching and burning sensation. 3% hydrogen peroxide is commonly used as skin debridement disinfectant.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 44℃ hyperthermia combined with 3% hydrogen peroxide in treating verruca virus.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Complete clearance rate of warts — 6 months after the first time of treatment.
  The complete clearance rate was defined as the proportion of patients with lesions that completely disappeared within 6 months of completing all treatments.
• Time to complete clearance — 6 months after the first time of treatment.
  Median duration from first treatment to complete resolution (days)
• Recurrence rate of warts — recurrence was the proportion of patients with reappearance of lesions at previously cleared sites within 6 months after treatment.
  Complete clearance was defined as the proportion of patients with complete disappearance of lesions within 6 months of completion of all treatments, and recurrence was the proportion of patients with recurrence of lesions at the cured lesion site within 6 and 12 months after treatment,
