Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Combination therapy with Gwakhyangjeonggisangamibang and Sojangjeonggyeok on patients with verucca plana. Methods : Sixty-five patients(male 19, female 46) with verruca plana were treated with Gwakhyangjeonggisangamibang and Sojangjeonggyeok for at least 3 months. After treatment, a clearance rate was divided into 4 scales such as; complete clearance / partial clearance-good / partial clearance-poor / no change. Statistical analysis was performed by using Independent-sample t-test. Results : Mean age of patients was 30.3 and mean period of disease duration was 64.6 months. Fifty-eight patients(73.8%) showed complete clearance, nine(13.8%) partial clearance-good, and eight(12.3%) partial clearance-poor. Complete clearance group(CC group) was statistically younger than failure group and disease duration of CC group was shorter than failure group. Although treatment period of failure group was statistically longer than CC group and dosage(貼) of herbal medicine of failure group was more than CC group, failure group showed partial clearance. Conclusion : This data demonstrates that combination therapy with Gwakhyangjeonggisangamibang and Sojangjeonggyeok could be an effective and safe treatment for the verucca plana.
