Narrow-band ultraviolet B radiation: a review of the current literature.

BACKGROUND:

Narrow-Band radiation (NB-UVB) is a relatively new treatment modality for psoriasis and many practitioners may be 

unaware of its effectiveness and applications.

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this study is to review the literature and compare NB-UVB to both broad-band ultraviolet B radiation 

(BB-UVB) and psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation (PUVA) for the treatment of psoriasis and other dermatoses.

METHODS:

A comprehensive Medline search of the literature was done on all citations electronically cataloged since the mid 

1960s.

RESULTS:

NB-UVB is superior to BB-UVB, but less effective than PUVA for the treatment of psoriasis, and is beneficial for the 

treatment of many other dermatoses.

CONCLUSION:

NB-UVB is a useful and important adjust to the treatment of psoriasis.
