Treatment of psoriasis with a 311-nm UVB lamp.

In a left-right comparative study, the Philips TL-01 sunlamp, a new UVB fluorescent lamp, was evaluated in 15 

patients with symmetrical psoriasis. One half of the body was treated in a cabin containing TL-01 lamps, and the 

other half in a cabin containing TL-12 lamps. The patients were treated three times/week, and the study was 

conducted in a randomized, double-blind fashion. The percentage response of psoriatic lesions was determined on the 

tenth and twentieth exposures. The therapeutic effect of the TL-01 lamps was superior to that of the TL-12 lamps, 

and treatment was better tolerated, particularly with regard to episodes of burning. This new lamp appears to 

provide more effective and safer phototherapy for psoriasis.
