    Treatment for
    requires compliance of the patient to antifungal medications that often have undesirable costs and side
    effects. An alternative method of treament has been taken to account due to its effictiveness on treating
    chronic nail fungal infection less side effects and cheaper cost. Our research wants to prove the efficacy of
    Vicks Vaporub used topically through randomized controlled trials for treatment of chronic nail fungal
    infection.

    Efficacy of Vicks Vaporub in treating Onychomycosis: A Randomized


    Controlled Trial
    Population: Patients diagnosed with fungal nail infections or onychomycosis
    using KOH test
    Intervention: control- conventional drug for treating fungal infection +
    antifungal topical cream
    Experimental- conventional drug for treating fungal infection + VICKS Vaporub
    Outcome: Alternative hypothesis: Vicks vaporub has significant effect in
    treating onychomycosis
    Null Hypothesis: Vicks Vaporub has no significant effect in treating
    onychomycosis
