Magnetism vs. warts: can a Healer's touch make them disappear?
NCT ID NCT02773719
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether biofield therapy, a type of energy healing or magnetism, can make common warts on hands and feet disappear. Sixty-two adults with warts for at least 3 months will be randomly assigned to receive either real biofield therapy from a recognized healer or fake therapy from someone trained to mimic the gestures. The main goal is to see if the warts vanish after treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
biofield therapy (magnetism)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-invasive treatment for warts using energy healing.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 62 participants. The placebo effect is strong for warts, and the fake healer group may also show improvement, making it hard to prove real benefit.
