Comparing laser and medicated cream for fungal nail infection
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat fungal nail infections: a fractional CO₂ laser or a cream containing urea and fluconazole. The goal is to find out which treatment works better and is easier for people to use.

This study combines a standard antifungal pill with a special laser treatment for fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). The goal is to see if adding the laser helps clear the infection better than the medicine alone.
This trial tests two different treatments for fungus that affects the fingernails or toenails. It is designed to see how well the treatments work and if they are safe.
This trial compares two treatments for nail fungus (onychomycosis): a medication called isotretinoin and a special light therapy (excimer light) used alongside standard care. It aims to find which works better as an add-on treatment.
This trial tests an investigational medication called ATB1651 for people with toenail fungus (onychomycosis). If you have a fungal infection covering 20% to 60% of one or both big toenails and are in generally good health, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a topical cream containing terbinafine, an antifungal medicine applied directly to the nail, to see if it clears mild to moderate toenail fungus. You would apply the cream as directed and be monitored to check the infection clears.
This study compares two treatments—clobetasol steroid cream or a fractional CO2 laser—for women with vulvar lichen sclerosus who have not used steroid cream before. It looks at how inflammation changes after treatment.
