| مستخلص: | Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser treatment and electrocoagulation (EC) for the treatment of spider nevi (SN). Method: A randomized single-blind intrapatient comparison study was performed. A blinded observer and patients reported the clinical treatment outcome and pain on a visual analogue scale (0-10). Side effects were noted if present. Results: Mean physician-rated clinical efficacy scores+/-standard error of the mean were 7.7+/-0.7 for KTP laser and 6.2+/-0.9 for EC treatment (p=.05). Patient-rated mean clinical efficacy of KTP laser was 8.3+/-0.6 and of EC was 7.3+/-0.7 (p=.09). Stratification for potential confounding bias, such as location of SN, central bulging vein, and diameter (p=.25) of the treated SN did not reveal any statistically significant differences between the treatments. Treatment with KTP or EC did not result in scarring or pigmentary changes. Pain was reported for KTP treatment (3.1+/-0.4) and EC (6.4+/-0.7) (p<.05). Conclusion: Clinical efficacy of KTP laser and EC for SN is comparable, although there is a tendency toward an advantage in favor of the KTP laser. KTP laser treatment was less painful. |
