NCT ID NCT06822478

First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a plant-based arnica tincture applied to the skin can safely and effectively heal sores caused by cutaneous leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease spread by sandflies. About 96 people aged 12 and older with confirmed cases will receive either arnica tincture or standard injected treatment. The goal is to find a simpler, less toxic topical option that leads to complete healing within 90 days.
