An article published in JAAD evaluated the efficacy and safety of saturated saline immersion for treating refractory plantar warts over six months.
In this single-arm clinical trial, 17 patients were enrolled with plantar warts that failed standard treatments. The participants underwent daily 30-minute saturated saline immersion for eight weeks.
After the saturated saline immersion treatment, 98.3% of lesions cleared, and 88.2% of participants achieved complete remission at week eight compared to baseline. No recurrences occurred during the six-month follow-up.
