This study aims to assess if laser treatment can cure fungal infection in toenails. Nail clippings from eligible subjects were obtained and randomised into two groups. All nail clippings were treated once with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG-laser. Before and after treatment, nail clippings were tested for fungal infection by microscopy and by culture.
