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 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 کاملTreatment of chronic urticaria with narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy: a randomized controlled trial.
Data regarding narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy in patients with chronic urticaria is limited. The aim of this open, controlled study was to determine whether NB-UVB is effective in treating urticaria in combination with antihistamin. A total of 81 patients with chronic urticaria were recruited, 48 of whom were randomized into the NB-UVB plus antihistamine group. The control group...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Disseminated Granuloma Annulare With Narrowband UV-B Phototherapy.
Disseminated granuloma annulare (DGA) is an inflammatory disease that tends to follow a chronic course and is resistant to multiple treatments. We report the case of a 80-year-old woman with asymptomatic lesions that had developed 3 years earlier. The lesions initially developed on the arms, later spreading to the abdomen, back, and legs, and improved during the summer months. The patient had u...
