Clinical study of narrow band ultraviolet combined infrared with drugs in the treatment of vitiligo / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe the clinical curative effect of narrow band ultraviolet combined infrared with 8-Methoxypsoralen for the treatment of vitiligo,to seek a new method for the treatment of vitiligo. Methods: Sixty cases of vitiligo patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group adopted 365-nm narrow band ultraviolet LED combined 850-nm infrared LED with 8-Methoxypsoralen for the treatment of vitiligo, the control group adopted 365-nm narrow band ultraviolet LED irradiation combined with 8-Methoxypsoralen for the treatment of vitiligo, the clinical curative effect of two group were observed when treated with 1 months,2 months. Results:After 2 months of treatment, the efficiency rate of the experimental group was 66.67%, higher than that of the control group with an efficiency of 40%, the difference was statistically significant(x2=4.653, P<0.05). Conclusion: The clinical efficacy of narrow band ultraviolet combined infrared with 8-Methoxypsoralen for the treatment of vitiligo is better than that of narrow band ultraviolet combined with 8-Methoxypsoralen in the treatment of vitiligo.
