Abstract

Purpose: To study the clinical effectiveness of a combination of Paiteling and cryotherapy in the treatment of vulval condyloma acuminatum (VCA), and its effect on late recurrence.
 Methods: Eighty-six VCA patients were chosen as research subjects, and were randomized into group A and group B. Group A patients were treated with combination of Paiteling and cryotherapy, while group B patients received cryotherapy only. The clinical effects of the two treatment methods on VCA were evaluated by measuring area of damaged skin, levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), as well as degree of recurrence of VCA in the two groups, before and after treatment.
 Results: Total clinical treatment effectiveness in group A was significantly higher compared with group B (p < 0.05). After treatment, the area of damaged skin, and levels of IL-6 and CRP were markedly lower in group A than in group B (p < 0.001). After 6 months of treatment, disease control was higher in group A than in group B (p < 0.05). There was also a lower incidence of adverse reactions in group A than in group B (p < 0.05).
 Conclusion: These results indicate that the combination of Paiteling and cryotherapy is more effective than cryotherapy alone in improving treatment effectiveness and reducing late recurrence of VCA. Therefore, the combined treatment has potentials clinical application in the management of VCA.
