Narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy and 308-nm excimer laser in the treatment of vitiligo: a review.
Vitiligo is a common and chronic disease with a great impact on patients' quality of life. Phototherapy with narrowband ultraviolet B radiation and excimer laser are two treatment modalities that are used increasingly for the management of the disease with variable results. In this article, we review the efficacy, adverse effects, and possible mechanisms of action of narrowband ultraviolet B an...
متن کاملMonochromatic excimer light 308 nm in the treatment of vitiligo: a pilot study.
OBJECTIVE To study the efficacy and safety of monochromatic excimer light (MEL) on 37 vitiligo patients referred to our clinic. METHODS In a pilot study, 37 patients (17 males, 20 females) with acrofacial (n=21), focal (n=11), segmental (n=1), and generalized (n=4) vitiligo were treated twice weekly with MEL for a maximum period of 6 months. RESULTS Thirty-five patients (95%) showed signs o...

conclusions the hmb-45 stain strength significantly changed after treatment in perilesional skin. results twenty-nine patients completed the study. the wilcoxon test showed a meaningful relation between hmb-45 staining before and after nb-uvb treatment in perilesional skin. we did not find a meaningful relation between hmb-45 staining before and after treatment regarding the mean age, gender, m...
متن کاملNarrow band Ultraviolet B 311 nm in the treatment of vitiligo: two right-left comparison studies.
AIM Evaluation of narrow band ultraviolet B (NB UVB 311 nm) in the treatment of vitiligo by two independent studies. The first study compared NB UVB with a well-established therapeutic modality, psoralen ultraviolet A (PUVA), and the second study was conducted to find out whether psoralen might add to its efficacy. METHODS In the first study, 15 patients were exposed on the left half of their...
متن کاملShort-term Effects of 308-nm Xenon-chloride Excimer Laser and Narrow-band Ultraviolet B in the Treatment of Vitiligo: A Comparative Study
We compared the clinical efficacy of a short-term intervention of 308-nm excimer laser with that of narrow-band UVB (NBUVB) phototherapy for vitiligo patients to see the early response. Twenty-three symmetrically patterned patches of vitiligo on 8 patients were selected. Vitiligo patches on one side of the body were treated 2 times per week for a maximum of 20 treatments with the excimer laser,...
