Radiofrequency in Onychomycosis

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Onychomycosis
• Interventions: Device: Non ablative radiofrequency

• Registration Number: NCT05390190
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

Onychomycosis is the most common nail disease, representing more than 50% of all onychopathies.

Detailed Description

Treatments with antifungals may not be successful due to several factors, including the long time required to apply topical medications, the side effects of systemic drugs, and the application of insufficient medication to the target area. Non-ablative radiofrequency devices can be used to treat onychomycosis without harming the nail matrix cells.
