Cream plus freezing vs cream alone for common warts
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat common warts: using a cream called imiquimod, or using the cream together with freezing (cryotherapy). The goal is to see if the combination works better than the cream alone.

This study tests two different injected treatments for plantar warts (warts on the soles of your feet) to see which works better. If you have multiple plantar warts, you might be able to join.
This trial tests whether applying heat combined with a common disinfectant (hydrogen peroxide) can safely and effectively remove viral skin warts. It may be an option if you have common, plantar, or genital warts and are between 16 and 65 years old.
This trial tests a medicated liquid called cantharidin for treating common warts on the body (not on the face, soles, or private areas). The liquid is painted on by a doctor and later removed, and the goal is to see if it clears warts safely.
This study tests whether a medication called ivermectin (taken by mouth) alone or combined with a skin treatment called microneedling can help get rid of warts on the skin. Microneedling uses tiny needles to create small punctures in the skin, which may help the medicine work better.
This trial tests a medication called cantharidin for treating common warts. It is for people age 2 and older who are generally healthy and have at least one common wart on the body (but not on palms, soles, face, or genitals). Participants cannot use other wart treatments during the study.
This study compares two standard treatments for genital warts: a topical cream (podophyllin) and freezing (cryotherapy). Both are applied directly to the warts, and the study aims to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
