Cost-Effectiveness of Therapy
A 2006 study assessed the effects of different local treatments for cutaneous, non-genital warts in healthy people. The study reviewed 60 randomized clinical trials dating up to March 2005. The main findings were:
- Overall there is a lack of evidence (many trials were excluded because of poor methodology and reporting).
- The average cure rate using a placebo was 27% after an average period of 15 weeks.
- The best treatments are those containing salicylic acid. They are clearly better than placebo.
- There is surprisingly little evidence for the absolute efficacy of cryotherapy.
- Two trials comparing salicylic acid and cryotherapy showed no significant difference in efficacy.
- One trial comparing salicylic acid and duct tape occlusion therapy showed no significant difference in efficacy.
- Evidence for the efficacy of the remaining treatments was limited.
