BACKGROUND: Narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy and 308 nm excimer laser have produced encouraging therapeutic results for vitiligo. Repigmentation of various degrees was obtained in different studies. Materials and methods: Twenty-nine vitiliginous lesions from six patients were treated with targeted, broadband UV-B phototherapy. UV fluences were started at 50% of the minimal erythema dose, then increased gradually. Treatments were carried out twice weekly for 12 weeks. RESULTS: Some degree of repigmentation occurred in all subjects. Responses varied among the different anatomic locations, with acral lesions achieving the least improvement. Onset of repigmentation was as early as 3 weeks of treatment in some subjects. Treatments were well tolerated, with only minimal erythema and hyperpigmentation. LIMITATIONS: This study was carried out in a smaller number of patients with skin types III and IV. The irradiation device was a broadband UVB device, and thus the results may not be similar to those obtained from a more monochromatic system such as an excimer laser. CONCLUSIONS: Targeted broadband UVB is an efficacious and safe modality for the treatment of localized vitiligo. 相似文献

Aim of the study is to compare efficacy of targeted broad‐band UVB phototherapy and topical psoralen with targeted UVA phototherapy treatments in localized vitiligo for 3 months prospectively. The cases with symmetrical vitiligo lesions were included in the study. Broad‐band targeted UVB was applied on one side and targeted UVA phototherapy with topical psoralen on the other side. Twenty‐two patients who were diagnosed with localized vitiligo were enrolled in this study. These cases consisted of 6 (27.3%) females and 16 (72.7%) males aging between 17 and 69 (34.22 ± 14.15). Fifty‐four lesions (27 left, 27 right) were compared for treatments. After the first month of the treatments, the sides of the lesions were compared in order to evaluate improvement. Percentages of success were 25% for targeted broad‐band UVB microphototherapy and 75% for topical psoralen with targeted UVA microphototherapy. When the two treatment methods were compared with each other, a significant difference was found in terms of treatment response (P = .017). At the end of the third month, the success rates were 37.5% for targeted broad‐band UVB microphototherapy and 62.5% for topical psoralen with targeted UVA microphototherapy, however a statistically significant difference was not determined between the two treatments (P > .05). Both targeted broad‐band UVB phototherapy and topical psoralen with targeted UVA phototherapy provided repigmentation for localized vitiligo at the end of the third month. Our investigation shows that both treatments are safe and they provide repigmentation with a limited response. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy and topical tacrolimus are included among the most innovative approaches to vitiligo. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of combined treatment with NB-UVB and topical tacrolimus in vitiligo. METHODS: After informed consent, adult patients with chronic (> 1-year duration) stable vitiligo refractory to conventional treatments were enrolled in an open-labelled prospective study. Treatment regimen consists of once-daily application, in the evening, of tacrolimus 0.03% ointment to the lesions of the face, or tacrolimus 0.1% ointment to the vitiligous patches located on other areas. Concomitant NB-UVB phototherapy was performed twice weekly for 16 weeks. RESULTS: Study population included 110 patients (mean age, 42) with a total of 403 lesions. Within the treatment period, variable repigmentation was evident on more than 70% of lesions. Clinical response (repigmentation more than 50%) was observed in 42% of lesions. Response was strictly dependent on the site, being more frequent for face lesions (73%), followed by limbs (68%) and trunk (53.5%). The therapeutic effect on the extremities and genital areas was quite disappointing. Treatment was well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary data suggest that the combination of topical tacrolimus with NB-UVB phototherapy can represent an alternative highly effective approach to refractory vitiligo located on the face, trunk and limbs. Long-term safety data and randomized controlled trials on a large number of patients are required. 相似文献

Phototherapy is the pillar of vitiligo treatment. One of its main obstacles is noncompliance. It was noticed that patients continue to repigment even after stopping sessions, so the idea of interrupted phototherapy emerged. To evaluate the effectiveness of interrupted versus continuous NB‐UVB in nonsegmental vitiligo treatment. A prospective randomized comparative study of 23 patients with bilateral, nonsegmental vitiligo with no age or sex limits. All patients were treated with NB‐UVB phototherapy for 1 month, after which one side of the body received continuous therapy (Side A) and the other received an interrupted course (Side B) for a total of 6 months. Two more groups of 10 patients were enrolled to exclude the systemic effect of NB‐UVB. One group received continuous NB‐UVB treatment, and the other received interrupted courses for 6 months. Evaluation of the results was performed clinically, by digital photography, planimetry and Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) prior to and 3 and 6 months after treatment. There was a significant clinical improvement in Group 1 compared to baseline (p < .05). However, there was no significant difference between the sides with regards to the clinical evaluation, point counting, and VASI scores (p > .05). When comparing the other two groups, there was a significant clinical improvement in each group after 6 months of treatment compared to baseline (p < .05), while there was no significant difference between them (p > .05). The current study suggests that interrupted NB‐UVB phototherapy is a good alternative to continuous treatment with improved patient compliance, fewer side effects, and a lower cost of treatment. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Narrow band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy has been used successfully for the treatment of vitiligo. Recently, topical calcipotriol has also been claimed to be effective, either as monotherapy or as a part of combination therapies. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical efficacy of NB-UVB and NB-UVB plus topical calcipotriol in the treatment of vitiligo. METHODS: NB-UVB treatment was given to 24 patients with generalized vitiligo three times weekly. Topical calcipotriol cream was only applied to the lesions located on the right side of the body. Treatment was continued for 6 months. Treatment efficacy was evaluated by determining the average response rates of the lesions at 3-month intervals. RESULTS: The average response rates of patients receiving combination of NB-UVB plus calcipotriol and NB-UVB alone were 51 +/- 19.6% and 39 +/- 18.9%, respectively. The median cumulative UVB dose and number of UVB exposures for initial repigmentation were 6345 mj/cm(2) (range; 2930-30980) and 18 (range; 12-67) for the combination therapy, and 8867.5 mj/cm(2) (range; 2500-30980) and 24 (range; 15-67) for the narrow band UVB therapy, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that concurrent topical calcipotriol potentates the efficacy of NB-UVB in the treatment of vitiligo. This combination not only provides earlier pigmentation with lower total UVB dosage and less adverse UVB effects, but also reduces the duration and cost of treatment as well. 相似文献

Phototherapy is the most commonly used modality for repigmenting vitiligo. Currently, UVB emitting devices, including narrow-band UVB (NBUVB) and excimer laser/light, are considered as the treatment of choice. While emitting wavelengths at close proximity, excimer lights emit higher irradiance (HI; W/m2) compared to NBUVB. Clinical reports have shown that excimer light is more efficacious in treating vitiligo compared to NBUVB, and we demonstrated that irradiance plays a critical role in promoting melanoblasts differentiation. UVB radiation from the sun is closely associated with photocarcinogenesis of the skin. Sunscreens were used to protect the skin by reducing UVB irradiance (low irradiance (LI) UVB). Sunscreen use was associated with skin cancer reduction in clinical trials. Paradoxically, sunscreen use was associated with increased sunburn episodes in the real-world settings. It was shown that UVB-induced sunburn depends on fluence (J/m2) but not irradiance of UVB radiation. We investigated the significance of irradiance in the context of UVB-induced carcinogenesis of the skin. For mice receiving equivalent fluence of UVB exposure, the LIUVB-treated mice showed earlier tumor development, larger tumor burden, and more epidermal keratinocytes harboring mutant p53 as compared to their HIUVB-treated counterparts. These results suggested that at equivalent fluence, LIUVB radiation has more photocarcinogenic potential on the skin compared to its HI counterpart. Since development of sunburn with or without sunscreen use indicates that certain threshold of UVB fluence has been received by the skin at LI and HI, respectively, sunburn episodes with sunscreen use (LIUVB) are more damaging to the skin compared to that without sunscreen (HIUVB) application. In summary, since irradiance plays an important role determining the biological effects of UVB radiation on the skin, future related studies should take this critical parameter into consideration. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy has been shown to be effective for the treatment of various dermatoses. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of NB-UVB phototherapy for small plaque parapsoriasis (SPP). METHODS: The response of 45 patients (24 females, 21 males, age range 20-58 years) with histologically confirmed SPP were assessed. NB-UVB therapy was given 3-4 times weekly. The initial treatment dose was 70% of the minimal erythema dose. The doses were increased gradually with a standard increment of 20/10/0. Clinical response was determined as follows: complete response (CR), at least 90% clearing of skin lesions; partial response (PR), at least 50% but less than 90% clearing and no response (NR), less than 50% clearing. The follow-up period was 6-24 months after the treatment. RESULTS: NB-UVB treatment led to CR in 33 of 45 patients (73.3%) with a mean cumulative dose of 14.3 J/cm(2) (range 3.2-24.1 J/cm(2)) after a mean number of 29 exposures (range 16-51 sessions); PR in 12 of 45 (26.6%) with a cumulative dose of 15.6 J/cm(2) (range 10.4-23.3 J/cm(2)) after a mean number of 29.4 exposures (range 25-50 sessions). Nineteen patients with CR had skin phototype II, 13 had type III and 1 had type I. Among the patients with PR, 7 had skin phototype II and 5 had type III. Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation was observed in 51% of the patients. Relapses occurred in six patients within a mean time of 7.5 months (2-12 months). CONCLUSION: NB-UVB phototherapy has several advantages over treatment with broadband UVB and PUVA. NB-UVB therapy for patients with SPP is an effective, safe and practical alternative treatment modality. Further larger studies with longer follow-up periods are necessary to determine the proper clinical response and long-term complications of NB-UVB therapy in this disease. 相似文献

Vitiligo is a disorder characterized by the development of depigmented macules and patches. Narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy is a standard of care treatment and is used both as monotherapy and in combination with other treatment modalities to induce repigmentation. Although phototherapy is safe and effective, its use is limited due to the significant time commitment required and associated costs. Home phototherapy is a safe and effective alternative to make phototherapy more accessible to patients. However, it is often underutilized due to lack of physician experience and comfort as well as misconceptions regarding its safety and efficacy. This article provides a brief overview of the use of phototherapy in vitiligo with a focus on home phototherapy in order to increase awareness and use of this treatment modality. 相似文献

While narrowband ultraviolet light B (NB‐UVB) has become integral to the treatment of diffuse vitiligo, evidence‐based guidelines have been lacking with regard to dosing and administration. This is largely the result of heterogeneous study designs, ambiguous methodologies, disparate dosing strategies, and the use of varied, and somewhat arbitrary, outcome measures. In the absence of prospective trials to address each of these concerns, the available literature regarding the application of NB‐UVB for vitiligo was reviewed and the authors now pose a set of questions to the phototherapy community in an attempt to highlight gaps within our understanding. We aim to stimulate discussion, elicit expert opinion, and identify areas for future research to move toward a unified and safe treatment guideline for patients afflicted by this disease. 相似文献

No additional effect of topical calcipotriol on narrow-band UVB phototherapy in patients with generalized vitiligo 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: There is no definite cure for vitiligo; however, treatment responses with photobiological modalities are quite acceptable. Of all these, narrow-band UVB phototherapy was proposed rather recently. Calcipotriol has been shown to have stimulating activity on melanogenesis besides immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. This study was performed to determine whether adding topical calcipotriol to narrow-band UVB phototherapy enhances the efficacy of treatment. METHODS: In this prospective, single-blinded (investigator), right-left comparison clinical study, 20 patients with generalized vitiligo were enrolled. Symmetrical lesions with similar sizes, bilaterally distributed on arms, legs, hands, feet or trunk were selected as reference lesions. In addition to narrow-band UVB, totally 96 treatment sessions, received two or three times weekly, the patients were asked to apply 0.005% topical calcipotriol on the selected side of the reference lesions twice daily. Then, they were monitored at the end of every 24-session interval. RESULTS: Cosmetically acceptable repigmentation was observed in 55% (11/20) of the patients without taking calcipotriol into account. There was statistically significant better response on the side that calcipotriol was not applied at the 24th session (P < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the calcipotriol-treated and non-treated sides at 48th, 72th, and 96th sessions (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our data confirm that, narrow-band UVB phototherapy is effective by itself in vitiligo, and show that adding topical calcipotriol does not improve treatment outcome. 相似文献

Segmental vitiligo (SV) is usually characterized by a unilateral‐dermatomal distribution, earlier onset and rapid progression followed by stabilization. The response to phototherapy in patients with SV is limited. We evaluated the treatment response in 39 cases of SV according to disease duration. Ten cases (50.0%) of Group 1 (duration ≤ 5 months) and five cases (26.3%) of Group 2 (duration > 5 months) showed more than 50% repigmentation. Contrary to previous reports, patients in our study responded well to medical treatments like oral steroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors and phototherapy when treated early after onset. The results suggest that early treatment is important. 相似文献

Localized phototherapy including topical psoralen plus ultraviolet A (PUVA) and targeted ultraviolet B (UVB), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) have been increasingly used in the treatment of localized psoriasis. Yet, there are no systematic reviews or meta‐analyses that scientifically evaluated the pooled efficacy of these treatments in psoriasis. We searched Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases during the period of January 1980 to June 2012. Our systematic search resulted in 765 studies, 23 of them were included in the review. The primary outcome was 75% reduction in severity score from baseline. A meta‐analysis using random effect model found topical PUVA to be more effective than non‐laser targeted UVB [odds ratio: 3.48 (95% confidence interval 0.56–21.84), P = 0.183]. The pooled effect estimate of the efficacy (75% reduction in severity score) of topical PUVA, targeted UVB, and PDT were as follows: 77% (topical PUVA), 61% (targeted UVB), and 22% (PDT). Topical PUVA and targeted UVB phototherapy are very effective in the treatment of localized psoriasis. Topical PUVA seems more effective than non‐laser targeted UVB phototherapy. On the other hand, PDT has low efficacy and high percentage of side effects in treating localized psoriasis. 相似文献

According to the previous reports, segmental vitiligo usually shows a poor response to phototherapy. Here, we report two cases of recent onset segmental vitiligo that showed good or excellent response to targeted phototherapy in combination with drug therapy. These findings suggest that segmental vitiligo can be improved by combination therapy if its onset is recent. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Although many treatment modalities have been tried for the treatment of vitiligo, none is uniformly effective. Psoralen phototherapy (psoralen ultraviolet A (PUVA)) is established as efficacious treatment for vitiligo. Recently, narrow-band UVB (NBUVB) has been reported to be an effective and safe therapeutic option in patients with vitiligo. OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of PUVA and NBUVB in the treatment of vitiligo. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective analysis of 69 patients with vitiligo who were treated either with PUVA or NBUVB at the pigmentary clinic of the Dermatology Department of the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India. OUTCOME MEASURES: The following variables were compared between the two groups of patients: repigmentation status, number of treatments for marked to complete repigmentation in existing lesions, appearance of new lesions or increase in size of existing lesions, adverse effect of therapy, stability of repigmentation and colour match. RESULTS: In PUVA-treated group, 9 patients showed marked to complete repigmentation (23.6%) and 14 patients showed moderate improvement (36.8%), whereas in NBUVB-treated group, 13 patients showed marked to complete repigmentation (41.9%) and 10 patients showed moderate improvement (32.2%). A statistically significantly better stability and colour match of repigmentation with surrounding skin was seen in NBUVB-treated patients. CONCLUSION: We showed that NBUVB is more effective than PUVA and repigmentation induced with NBUVB is statistically significantly more stable. 相似文献
