Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Ingrown toenail has become one of the most prevalent onychopathies and a frequent reason for consultation in podiatry clinics. In the initial stages of the pathology, conservative treatments are the first choice of therapy. The aim was therefore, to analyze and compare the efficacy of the technique of nail re-education with gauze bandage and nail remodelling for the conservative treatment of onychocryptosis in stage I and IIA, A prospective, longitudinal, randomised clinical trial-type analytical study is proposed. A sample of 20 subjects with stage I and IIA onychocryptosis will be selected. Of these, 10 cases were part of the gauze bandage nail re-education group and the remaining 10 cases were part of the nail remodelling group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Spiculotomy and application of a Gel Nail

A nail spicule removal technique will be performed of the edge or nail edges affected by ingrown toenail. After, a gel nail will be applied to remodeling the nail apparatus and avoid damage of the nail in the lateral fold.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Follow up of the clinical stage

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Pain, Swelling, Infection, Patient satisfaction and recurrence of the disease will be measured

Spiculotomy and Nail Re-education with Gauze Bandage

A nail spicule removal technique will be performed and a cord of gauze bandage between the nail channel and the sheet will be applied. This technique consists in the removal of the portion of the nail sheet that causes ingrown toenail in order to release the soft parts.
