Outdoor and office photochemotherapy of vitiligo: a comparison
Photo-Dermatology
|April 1, 1984
Abstract:
The efficacy of oral trimethylpsoralen photochemotherapy with either natural solar exposures or artificial irradiations was investigated in a group of 63 vitiligo patients. Treatment with outdoor exposures during 2-3 summer seasons was found to be an inadequate therapeutic procedure under Swedish summer conditions. Office treatment with UVA cabins twice weekly led to a better therapeutic response but the number of treatments required for satisfactory repigmentation was high.
