equally effective, both clinically and for quality of life, as UVB phototherapy administered in an outpatient setting.

A BBC report on the latest research backs UV treatment at home.
A comprehensive review of home phototherapy published in the Dermatology Online Journal in 2010 looked at 59 studies and
publications. It concluded that home phototherapy is an effective means of treating chronic photoresponsive dermatoses, and
that home phototherapy has broadened therapeutic options, improved the quality of life for many patients, and should be
considered as a primary option for psoriasis treatment.
A review of the literature published in the International Journal of Dermatology in 2005 concluded that the evidence suggests
that UVB phototherapy remains a very safe treatment modality.
