There is evidence for the use of narrow-band UV-B and UV-A1 phototherapy in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Evidence supporting the use of PUVA in atopic dermatitis is scarce and there is little information on the use of phototherapy in childhood. For the purpose of future studies, it would be advisable to use comparable criteria and scales for the evaluation of disease severity and patients, to standardize radiation methods, and to establish a minimum follow-up time.

“…Akut AD'de kullanımı önerilen bu fototerapi yöntemini, çok daha yaygın olarak kullanılan dar bant UVB ile karşılaştıran çalışmalar da bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmalardan birinde kronik AD'de dar bant UVB, orta doz UVA1'den daha etkili bulunurken (70), diğer iki çalışmada her iki tedavi yönteminin de eşit etkinliğe sahip oldukları gösterilmiştir (71,72).…”

“…Auffällig war das Sistieren des Pruritus nach nur durchschnittlich 3-4 Sitzungen, das uns in der Form nur von einer UVA1-Therapie geläufig war [22].

“…Im Konsensuspapier zur Therapie der ausgeprägten atopischen Dermatitis wurde der Effekt einer 311-nm-UVBPhototherapie als erfolgreich eingestuft [5]. Einige Arbeitsgruppen sehen in einer "Narrow-band-" (311 nm) NUVB sogar therapeutische Vorteile gegenüber einer UVA1-Bestrahlung [20,26]. Wir stellten uns somit die Frage, ob eine gezielte UVB-308-nm-Phototherapie eine erfolgreiche Behandlungsalternative insbesondere für die kleinflächige atopische Dermatitis darstellen könnte.…”

Targeted UVB-308 nm (NUVB) therapy with excimer laser in the treatment of atopic dermatitis and other inflammatory dermatoses

2009

UVB 311 nm phototherapy (NUVB) is used successfully in the treatment of psoriasis or atopic dermatitis and is often chosen as "first-line" therapy. In a prospective study we investigated the efficacy of the targeted UVB 308 phototherapy by excimer laser in the treatment of 57 patients with localized, mild therapy-resistant atopic dermatitis. We achieved a complete remission (CR) in nearly 85% and a partial remission (PR) in 15% after 10 treatments during 6-8 weeks in all patients. A mean reduction in patient-reported pruritus was one hallmark after 3-4 treatments. 48 other patients with lichen simplex chronicus Vidal, nodular prurigo, granuloma anulare, alopezia areata (AA) and lichen ruber planus were also treated by targeted NUVB. We found higher rates of CR and PR only in patients with AA and in patients with oral Lichen ruber mucosae. These results and the systematically reviewing of the current medical literature shows that targeted NUVB by excimer laser cannot be successfully transferred for all inflammatory skin diseases. In particular, Excimer UVB treatment expands the therapeutic options in patients with localized and therapy-resistant atopic dermatitis enormously.
