NCT00155584.

Study name Topical 5‐Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy for the Treatment of Verruca Vulgaris: Comparison of Red and Green Light‐Emitting Diode Array
Methods This is using a random‐sample observational model: natural history
Time perspective: longitudinal
Time perspective: prospective
Participants Inclusion criteria of the trial
  • 10 to 80 years of age with warts

Interventions
  • ALA‐PDT and red versus green LED light source


A topical ALA formulation and LED array will be specifically designed and developed for the skin lesions.
Outcomes Outcomes of the trial
  • The efficacy of the ALA formulation designed for wart treatment will be evaluated with in vivo fluorescence imaging system

  • The therapeutic efficacy of ALA‐PDT will be evaluated by using a LED array designed for skin irradiation

  • The unwanted side‐effects of pain and burning will be further compared between red and green LED array
