Short-term effect of scalpel debridement of plantar callosities versus treatment with salicylic acid patches: the EMEDESCA randomised controlled trial Gijón-Noguerón, Gabriel García-Payá, Irene Morales-Asencio, José Miguel Jiménez-Cebrián, Ana María Ortega-Ávila, Ana Belén Cervera-Marín, José Antonio Masutaka Furue Pies - Cuidado e higiene This study compares scalpel debridement versus salicylic acid patches in the treatment of plantar callosities. A randomized clinical trial (ACTRN12614000591651) was performed with 62 patients, divided into two intervention groups. Group A received treatment with salicylic acid patches (Call ıvoro Marthand ) and group B underwent scalpel debridement of plantar callosities. Pain was measured on a visual analog scale, and foot pain and disability were evaluated using the Manchester Foot Pain Disability Index (MFPDI) questionnaire (Spanish version). Significant differences were observed in pain measured immediately after treatment (P < 0.001) and at 15 days and 6 weeks after treatment. For some components, the MFPDI questionnaire revealed significantly better outcomes by scalpel debridement at 15 days after treatment. The scalpel debridement of plantar callosities relieves pain more effectively than salicylic acid patches, and patients achieve greater functionality in the initial weeks after debridement. 2025-01-24T17:40:59Z 2025-01-24T17:40:59Z 2025-01-24T17:40:59Z 2017 journal article https://hdl.handle.net/10630/36961 10.1111/1346-8138.13720 eng open access Wiley
