Outcomes Outcomes of the trial
  1. A clinical visual rating scale was devised to grade the severity of the nails (0 = normal, 1 = slightly affected, 2 = moderately affected, 3 = severely affected) for each of the following features: pitting, grooves, subungual hyperkeratosis, and onycholysis.

  2. Adverse events were assessed in both the treatment group and placebo group.
