Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
A randomized trial of distant healing for skin warts.
Distant healing, a treatment that is transmitted by a healer to a patient at another location, is widely used, although good scientific evidence of its efficacy is sparse. This trial was aimed at assessing the efficacy of one form of distant healing on common skin warts. ⋯ Distant healing from experienced healers had no effect on the number or size of patients' warts.
