An appraisal of narrowband (TL-01) UVB phototherapy. British Photodermatology Group Workshop Report (April 1996).

چکیده
In Europe, ultraviolet (UV) B phototherapy is being increasingly used for the treatment of skin disease. While this is in part due to an increased awareness of the cancer risks of photochemotherapy (PUVA) there is also evidence that a ‘new’ UVB phototherapy source (TL-01) is more effective than conventional broadband UVB sources, and is possibly as effective as PUVA. A working party of the British Photodermatology Group met to discuss whether the available evidence supports such statements. The major conclusions are presented.

An update and guidance on narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy: a British Photodermatology Group Workshop Report.
Summary These guidelines for use of narrowband (TL-01) ultraviolet B have been prepared for dermatologists by the British Photodermatology Group on behalf of the British Association of Dermatologists. They present evidence-based guidance for treatment of patients with a variety of dermatoses and photodermatoses, with identification of the strength of evidence available at the time of preparatio...
متن کاملLocal narrowband UVB phototherapy vs. local PUVA in the treatment of chronic hand eczema.
BACKGROUND Hand eczema is a chronic skin disorder characterized by a poor response to conventional therapies. Although local PUVA has been proven to be effective in the treatment of chronic hand eczema, little is known about the efficacy and safety of local narrowband UVB (TL-01) for this condition. The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy and safety of local narrowband UVB phototherapy...
متن کاملPhototherapy-induced erythema in patients with psoriasis and obesity treated with narrowband UVB phototherapy.
Psoriasis is more common among patients with obesity. These patients tend to have more severe psoriasis. Therefore, a higher proportion of them require intensive treatment modalities such as phototherapy, but with not always dose adjustment. We report a phototherapy-induced erythema in patient with psoriasis and obesity treated with narrowband UVB phototherapy. Figure 1: Erythema located on the...
متن کاملA randomized comparison of selective broadband UVB and narrowband UVB in the treatment of psoriasis.
UVB is widely used to treat psoriasis. Conventional broadband UVB lamps are less effective than narrowband UVB lamps, which have an emission peak at 311 nm. The long-term safety of narrowband UVB phototherapy is uncertain. "Selective" broadband UVB lamps, which have little emission <290 nm, are also available, but have not been adequately compared to narrowband UVB lamps. We performed a randomi...
متن کاملA randomized, observer-blinded trial of twice vs. three times weekly narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy for chronic plaque psoriasis.
BACKGROUND The optimum treatment frequency for narrowband (TL-01) ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) in psoriasis is not yet known. We have previously found three times weekly to be preferable to five times weekly treatment in our population. OBJECTIVES To compare twice weekly with three times weekly NB-UVB phototherapy in chronic plaque psoriasis. METHODS In an observer-blinded, randomized comparison,...
