Patient-Controlled Taping for the Treatment of Ingrown Toenails
Meiko Tsunoda and Koichi Tsunoda
Ann Fam Med November/December 2014 vol. 12 no. 6 553-555 full text

Various methods are used to treat ingrown or pincer-like toenails. We developed a novel taping method to prevent topical interruption of the circulation and resulting skin conditions and evaluated it over 14.5 years. We instructed 541 patients or their guardians in the use of the technique. Ingrown toenail symptoms and abnormal nail growth were resolved and no additional therapy was required in 276 patients. The novel taping method was significantly more effective than treatments our patients had received previously. Patient-controlled taping is the first-line treatment for every ingrown or curved toenail seen in our clinic.

Retrospective Evaluation of Conservative Treatment for 140 Ingrown Toenails with a Novel Taping Procedure
Akiko Watabe, Kenshi Yamasaki, Akira Hashimoto and Setsuya Aiba
Acta Derm Venereol 2015; XX: XX–XX. (full text)

The aim of this study is retrospectively to review the efficacy of a taping procedure for treating ingrown toe*nails or for supporting other conservative treatments of ingrown toenails. A total of 140 ingrown toenails treated at the Dermatology Clinic in Tohoku University Hospital were retrospectively reviewed for demographic characteristics, association with granulation tissue or infection, treatment modalities and their outcomes, and classified according the treatment modalities. All the ingrown toe*nails were treated with a novel taping procedure, “slit tape-strap procedure” alone or in conjunction with other conservative treatments. The mean ± SD duration until pain relief and until cure of the ingrown toenail were 4.8 ± 4.7 days, range 0–24 and 21.0 ± 11.2 weeks, range 4–56, respectively. All of the treatments were all effective, although 18 cases recurred after treatment. The “slit tape-strap procedure” is effective in treating ingrown toenails, either as a monotherapy or as a supportive therapy for other conservative treatments.
