| Frequency of Success/Failure of treatment | The effect of treatment was noted in a structured proforma on weekly basis for 3 weeks. Treatment was considered successful if, on local examination the granuloma disappeared completely and did not reappear during the follow up period. And if the granuloma did not disppear completely during the follow up period after double ligation or application of silver nitrate, treatment was considered to have failed. These variables were measured as frequency and percentages. The results were compared between the two groups using chi-square test. A significance level of <0.05 was considered significant. | 3 weeks |
| Frequency of complications in both groups | The complications were also noted in the above mentioned proforma during the follow up period on weekly basis for 3 weeks. Complications relevant to the treatment i.e. infection, bleeding, chemical burns and skin discoloration were noted during local examination. These variables were measured as frequency and percentages. The results were compared between the two groups using chi-square test. A significance level of <0.05 was considered significant | 3 weeks |
