Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to review Korean and Western medical papers on wart treatment.
Methods : We searched papers published until 2015 via OASIS and KISS with the keyword "wart". In particular, OASIS is for searching Korean medicine and KISS for Western medicine articles. We exclude results that are inconsistent with established criteria.
Results : The total number of papers on wart treatment in korean medicine was 10, and it includes 7 case studies, 2 original research article and 1 statistical analysis. The ones in Western medicine was 42 and it consists of 27 origianl research articles, 10 case studies, 4 comparative studies and 1 clinical study. 'Flat wart' accounts for 50.0% and it made up the biggest portion of the type of warts in Korean medicine, while the percentage of 'various warts' was 40.5% in Western medicine. 'Herbal medicine' accounts for 10(100.0%) and it made up the biggest portion of the the type of treatment in Korean medicine, while the percentage of 'cryo therapy' was 7(16.7%) in Western medicine. The various types of treatment are more introduced on Western than on Korean medicine papers. However, therapy suggested by Western medicine has more side effects than the one introduced by Korean medicine.
Conclusions : We hope this article would encourage further research on treatment for warts in Korean medicine.
