Key result
Oral thiabendazole is linked to a shorter creeping eruption course, despite side effects in ~46%.
Why the study?
The natural course of untreated creeping eruption and the effect of oral thiabendazole treatment were not well characterized.
Does oral thiabendazole shorten the course of creeping eruption compared to no treatment?
Does oral thiabendazole shorten the course of creeping eruption compared to no treatment?

Thiabendazole was associated with shorter creeping eruption course; leaves open its net benefit pending randomized trials.
Robert Katz (1965) studied this question. Oral thiabendazole significantly shortened the course of creeping eruption, with transient unpleasant side-effects noted in 13 of 28 treated patients.
