Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Combination of Narrow Band Ultraviolet B and Topical Calcipotriol Versus Narrow Band UVB alone in the Treatment of Vitiligo
Background: Narrow band Ultraviolet B (NBUVB) has been used successfully for the treatment of vitiligo. Recently, topical calcipotriol has also been used as immunotherapy or as a part of combination therapies. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of NBUVB and NBUVB plus topical calcipotriol in the treatment of generalized vitiligo.Methods: NBUVB phototherapy was...

متن کاملHalf-side comparison study on the efficacy of 8-methoxypsoralen bath-PUVA versus narrow-band ultraviolet B phototherapy in patients with severe chronic atopic dermatitis.
In patients with severe chronic atopic dermatitis (AD), both photochemotherapy [psoralen ultraviolet A (PUVA)] and narrow-band (TL-01) UV B phototherapy have been reported to be very effective. As no data exist on the relative therapeutic efficacy of these two regimens, we performed a randomized investigator-blinded half-side comparison study on 12 patients with severe chronic AD. Half-side irr...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Efficacy of Topical Ethyl Vanillate in Enhancing the Effect of Narrow Band Ultraviolet B against Vitiligo: A Double Blind Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial
Background: Vitiligo is an acquired disease of skin that presents with depigmented patches due to lack of melanocytes in the epidermis. Accumulation of toxic free radicals like hydrogen peroxide in the epidermis may be responsible for melanocytes death. Since ethyl vanillate (vanillic acid ethyl ester) is a strong hydrogen peroxide scavenger, it may be effective against vitiligo. This study was...
متن کاملNarrow-band ultraviolet B and broad-band ultraviolet A phototherapy in adult atopic eczema: a randomised controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Narrow-band ultraviolet B (UVB) is an effective treatment for psoriasis, and open studies suggest that this phototherapy might improve atopic eczema. We did a randomised controlled trial to compare narrow-band UVB, UVA, and visible light phototherapy as second-line, adjunctive treatments in adult patients with moderate to severe atopic eczema. METHODS Phototherapy was administered ...
