Experimental research on fungal inhibition using dissolving microneedles of terbinafine hydrochloride nanoemulsion for beta-1,3-glucanase

Researchers developed a new patch treatment for nail fungus using tiny dissolving needles that deliver antifungal medication directly into the skin near infected nails. The patch combines two active ingredients that work together to kill fungus and break down protective biofilm layers that make fungal infections hard to treat. Testing showed the patch was safe, effective, and delivered much more medication to the infected area compared to traditional creams or pills.

Efficacy of Topical Antifungal Nail Solution Versus Topical Placebo Solution for the Treatment of Pedal Onychomycosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study tested whether a new antifungal solution called Tolcylen® could effectively treat toenail fungus compared to a placebo. Over 9 months, participants using the active treatment showed dramatic improvements, with over half achieving complete fungal elimination and 70% showing significant nail healing. Beyond just getting rid of the fungus, patients reported much better quality of life with less discomfort and improved appearance as early as 3 months into treatment.

Combination of Q-switched 1,064 and 532 nm Nd: YAG laser in the treatment of toenail onychomycosis: a pilot study

This study tested a laser treatment using two different wavelengths (1,064 and 532 nanometers) to treat toenail fungal infections. Fifteen patients with toenail fungus received eight weekly laser sessions. The treatment was safe and worked best for mild cases, curing 100% of them, but was less effective for severe infections. Although patients experienced some pain during treatment, the overall results suggest laser therapy could be a useful option for treating mild fungal toenail infections without the side effects of oral medications.
