Efficacy of Targeted Narrowband Ultraviolet B Therapy in Vitiligo
BACKGROUND Phototherapy is one of the most effective treatment options in vitiligo. Targeted phototherapy devices are becoming more popular as they offer a lot of advantages over the conventional whole-body phototherapy units. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The present study was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of a targeted narrowband ultraviolet B (NBUVB) device in vitiligo. MATERIALS AND...
متن کاملEfficacy and tolerability of needling as an adjuvant to narrowband ultraviolet B therapy in the treatment of vitiligo: a clinical trial
Background: Despite great advances in therapeutic regimens,complete repigmentation in vitiligo is still out of reach. The aimof this assay was to study the efficacy and tolerability of repeatedneedling combined with narrowband ultraviolet B (NBUVB)therapy in the treatment of generalized, stable, refractory vitiligo.Method: Twenty-six patients with stable generalized intractablevitiligo were rec...
متن کاملTargeted 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 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...
