The first study compared NB UVB with a well\u2010established therapeutic modality, psoralen ultraviolet A (PUVA), and the second study was conducted to find out whether psoralen might add to its efficacy.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods: <\/jats:bold> In the first study, 15 patients were exposed on the left half of their body to UVB 311\u2003nm and then exposed on their right half to UVA after ingestion of psoralen. In the second study, 20 patients were exposed to UVB 311\u2003nm on the left side of the body, followed by ingestion of psoralen and exposure to NB UVB 311\u2003nm 90\u2003min later to the right side of the body. In both studies, while exposing one side, the other was protected by an UV\u2010proof gown. Thus two right\u2013left comparative studies were carried out simultaneously, namely: UVB 311\u2003nm vs. PUVA and UVB 311\u2003nm vs. PUVB 311\u2003nm.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results: <\/jats:bold> In the first study, comparison of PUVA and NB UVB 311\u2003nm showed no difference either in the degree of response or in the incidence of complications. In the second study, comparison of PUVB and UVB showed equal clinical improvement on both sides. The cumulative dose needed to achieve the same response on the PUVB side was lower than that on the UVB side, but the difference was not statistically significant. The incidence of phototoxic reactions was significantly higher on the PUVB treated body half.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion: <\/jats:bold> NB UVB 311\u2003nm has similar repigmentary effects as PUVA. The addition of psoralen does not increase its efficacy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0781.2006.00189.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,24]],"date-time":"2006-01-24T13:21:53Z","timestamp":1138108913000},"page":"6-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Narrow band Ultraviolet B 311\u2003nm in the treatment of vitiligo: two right\u2013left comparison studies"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"El Mofty","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.","family":"Mostafa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Esmat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Youssef","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"O.","family":"Azzam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Hunter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"El Hanafi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Fawzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0781.2003.00003.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1988.tb03489.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0906-6705.2003.00057.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000245988"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0151-9638(05)79189-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0781.2003.00039.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(00)90133-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","first-page":"57","article-title":"Narrow\u2010band UVB for the treatment of vitiligo","volume":"44","author":"Kanwar AJ","year":"2005","journal-title":"an emerging effective and well-tolerated therapy"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1997.03890480045006"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1993.tb00174.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0190-9622(93)70239-P"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(97)70246-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0781.2001.170403.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1994.tb02895.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2001.114752"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(99)70008-3"}],"container-title":["Photodermatology, Photoimmunology &amp; Photomedicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1600-0781.2006.00189.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1600-0781.2006.00189.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,11]],"date-time":"2023-10-11T22:53:38Z","timestamp":1697064818000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1600-0781.2006.00189.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,24]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2006,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1600-0781.2006.00189.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1600-0781.2006.00189.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0905-4383","1600-0781"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0905-4383","type":"print"},{"value":"1600-0781","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,24]]}}}
