| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of calcipotriol ointment as monotherapy versus calcipotriol in combination with narrow-band ultraviolet (UV)-B or UVA1 phototherapy and to determine whether calcipotriol in combination with UVA1 is an alternative to calcipotriol with narrow-band UVB phototherapy Forty-five patients with plaque psoriasis were divided into three treatment groups with no significant differences in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores, mean age, sex or skin type. The total duration of the treatment was 3 months. Regarding PASI score, psoriasis regression was statistically significant between the groups. The response to UVA1 and narrow band UVB with calcipotriol was superior to calcipotriol monotherapy. UVA1 phototherapy with calcipotriol could be an alternative to narrow-band UVB phototherapy with calcipotriol. | en |
