The present study aimed to examine the therapeutic effects of Islamic intercessory prayer on warts. Forty-five participants who are mostly Muslims and infected with warts were randomized into three groups: Group-1 (uncertain, with intercessory prayer), Group-2 (uncertain, no intercessory prayer), and control group (informed, no intervention). Stress symptoms were also measured before and after prayer sessions for these three groups. The results revealed that there were no significant differences between the groups in terms of healing. Although participants believed in the therapeutic effects of prayer, when participants did not trust the intercessor, prayer had no effect on warts.
本研究旨在检验伊斯兰教代祷对疣的治疗效果。45名大多为穆斯林且感染疣的参与者被随机分为三组：第一组（不确定，有代祷）、第二组（不确定，无代祷）和对照组（被告知情况，无干预）。还对这三组在祈祷前后的压力症状进行了测量。结果显示，三组在愈合方面没有显著差异。尽管参与者相信祈祷的治疗效果，但当参与者不信任代祷者时，祈祷对疣没有效果。
