The Nanopulse System uses a series of low energy, high voltage pulses, each one several billionths of a second in duration, to effectively kill the target tissue contained within the applicator tip electrodes with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. Efficacy and patient outcomes are expected to equal or surpass current treatment modalities in terms of increased ease of use, faster patient healing and minimal scarring with fewer complications resulting from treatment.\n\nThe device emits significantly less energy than existing electro-surgery or electro-cautery equipment and is believed to be similar to laser therapy treatment of warts. Trained clinicians can usually diagnose warts based by their appearance and location . Non-genital warts are subcategorized into common, periungual, flat, filiform, and plantar types. Common warts are benign, often skin-colored, or brown-grey, rough, bumpy growths on the hands and feet (caused by Human Papilloma Virus type 2) . Common warts in individuals without any immune deficiencies are low risk and are the focus of this study.Based upon the preclinical profile of the Nanopulse device, particularly its safety profile and its effect on transformed cells, it is hypothesized that application of pulses from the Nanopulse System , will result in complete clinical clearance of Common Wart lesions with minimal scarring.', 'detailedDescription': 'Study Objective: The objective of this study is to indicate whether the Nanopulse System is efficacious for use in clearing common warts.\n\nThe primary objective of this study is to gather lesion clearance data on common warts after application of pulses from the Nanopulse System and determine the optimal number of treatments necessary. Clearance will be measured by clinical observation.\n\nOther objectives of the study include gathering efficacy data on the use of the Nanopulse System for treating common warts in terms of:\n\n1.) Safety in a clinical setting in terms of minimal adverse events over the course of the trial; 2.) Cosmetic results during the healing process and cosmetic outcome; 3.)Effects of 1, 2, 3 or 4 treatments in terms of clearance and cosmetic outcome for each treated wart; 4.)Subject impressions immediately following application of pulses; 5.)Subject satisfaction with the treatment and cosmetic outcome during and following the healing process; 6) Device performance and clinical feedback under actual clinical conditions and to gather information on design features that may be modified to optimize the device.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Only Common Warts will be included as study lesions.\n* Only discrete common warts in a single 5cm x 5cm anatomical area can be included as study lesions.
