An assessment of potential problems of home phototherapy treatment of psoriasis.
Very little has been reported about how patients use home ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy. A survey of thirty-one 
patients who were prescribed a home UVB phototherapy unit to treat psoriasis was performed as a pilot study of home 
UVB phototherapy usage; twenty-two patients responded. Generally, respondents reported home UVB phototherapy to be 
very helpful for their psoriasis. We conclude that home UVB is an effective and appropriate treatment for many 
patients with psoriasis, but screening and education of candidates for home UVB phototherapy is important to ensure 
compliance with the treatment program.
