Abstract

This NMA provides a comparative overview, indicating that combination therapies, most notably 5-FU + corticoids + YAG:Laser, offer the greatest benefit. While data for novel agents (insulin and BTX-A) suggest potential, further research with standardized methodologies and longer-term follow-up is crucial to define optimal treatment algorithms.
