Local pain, burning or paresthesias have also been described. No definite treatments have been found for this disorder and most of those reported to date are anecdotal. Topical capsaicin is the option most widely used among dermatologists. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, gabapentin, oxcarbazepine and botulinum toxin have recently shown promising effects. UVB has been used for decades to treat different pruritic skin diseases, but its benefits in the management of NP have not been stated to date.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Objectives\u2002<\/jats:bold> To test the effects of UVB in notalgia paresthesica.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> We used a course of UVB narrow band to treat five patients with notalgia paresthesica.
