Heat and hydrogen peroxide for stubborn viral warts
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests combining local heat therapy with a hydrogen peroxide solution to treat viral warts that haven't responded to other treatments like freezing or lasers. The goal is to find a new option for people frustrated by warts that keep coming back.

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 study tests a new patch that combines gentle heat with hydrogen peroxide to treat common warts on hands, feet, or fingers. The patch is applied directly to the wart and may help your body clear the infection.
This study tests whether heat therapy (hyperthermia) can help treat viral warts in people who are pregnant, have HIV/AIDS, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, take immune-suppressing drugs, or are children. It aims to find a safe and effective option for these groups.
This study tests whether local heat therapy can help clear a high-risk HPV infection that has lasted at least 3 months. It is for women who have no serious cervical cell changes or only mild changes (CIN) and who are generally healthy.
This trial compares two topical treatments for warts on the soles of the feet. It tests whether a 40% hydrogen peroxide solution works better than 40% salicylic acid, which is a common wart treatment.
This study tests three treatments for warts on the skin (not on the genitals): platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from your own blood that may help healing), metformin (a medicine usually for diabetes), and cryotherapy (freezing the wart). The goal is to see which treatment works best and is safest.
