Targeted broadband ultraviolet b phototherapy produces similar responses to targeted narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy for vitiligo: a randomized, double-blind study.
UNLABELLED Narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy, with a 308-nm xenon chloride excimer laser, and targeted UVB phototherapy have produced encouraging therapeutic results for vitiligo. However, very few studies employing broadband UVB exist. Moreover, there has been no direct comparison study between broadband UVB and NB-UVB for the treatment of vitiligo. The aims of this study were to ...
متن کاملUltraviolet B (UVB) Phototherapy in the Treatment of Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a common, acquired pigmentary disorder of unknown pathogenesis that presents a therapeutic challenge to many dermatologists (Figure 1).

متن کاملPhototherapy with Narrowband UVB
Phototherapy with ultraviolet (UV) radiation of wavelengths between 280 and 320 nm (UVB) is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of diseases. In addition to standard broadband UVB (bUVB), narrowband phototherapy with fluorescent bulbs emitting near monochromatic UV around 311 nm (nUVB) has become an important treatment for diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and vitiligo. In a...
متن کاملNarrowband 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 کاملA retrospective study of narrowband-UVB phototherapy for treatment of vitiligo in Malaysian patients.
Psoralen and ultraviolet light A (PUVA) was the mainstay of vitiligo treatment before the introduction of narrowband UVB(NB-UVB). Eighteen patients treated with NB-UVB in Hospital Kuala Lumpur were retrospectively analyzed. Eight patients had Fitzpatrick skin phototype III and 10 with phototype IV. The mean duration of disease was 7.3 +/- 5.4 years, and the mean body surface area affected was 1...
