In this study, researchers from The Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School in Israel examined the efficacy of acupuncture in treating persistent warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The results of their study were published in the journal Medical Acupuncture.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that the clearance of persistent warts after acupuncture treatment may be due to a shift toward TH1 immune response or an anti-inflammatory effect on the virus-favored microenvironment in the skin lesions.
