UV-therapy might be worth trying in many patients with chronic urticaria.
Type:Uv phototherapy Time:2016-06-20 9:32:53Fifteen patients with chronic urticaria were treated with
ultraviolet light B (UVB) for 1-3 months during the spring 1984 and a
follow-up study was performed in November 1984-January 1985. Patients
with cold urticaria, cholinergic urticaria and dermographism became
clearly better or got rid of their symptoms more often than those with
"non-specific" chronic urticaria. The good results achieved during the
phototherapy held during the summer but in the autumn urticaria became
worse in one third of the cases. The result suggests that UV-therapy
might be worth trying in many patients with chronic urticaria.
