Ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy delivers shortwave ultraviolet radiation to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis. Phototherapy works by suppressing DNA synthesis, which in turn reduces inflammation. Narrowband UVB phototherapy (311–312 nm) is increasingly used compared to broadband UVB phototherapy (270–350 nm).

NB-UVB continues to be efficacious in treating patients with vitiligo, psoriasis, mycosis fungoides, AD, photodermatoses, pruritus, generalized LP, generalized GA, PLEVA, and PLC. Recent studies show future promise in combination NB-UVB …

2024年3月27日 · Narrowband UVB is a low-cost treatment and may delay or avoid costly third-line treatments for many patients with inflammatory dermatoses [6]. This topic will discuss the mechanism of action, treatment protocols, indications, and adverse effects of UVB phototherapy.

2024年1月26日 · Narrow-band UVB rays make it possible to work on the skin without damaging it or risking the development of skin tumors. In this article, we discuss what narrowband UVB phototherapy is, what it can be used to treat, how it works, how to prepare for it, and any contraindications to be aware of.

Ultraviolet-B (UVB) is the name given to the waveband of electromagnetic radiation ranging from 290 to 320 nm. Solar UVB is responsible for the majority of sunburn and is the main cause of sun damage and skin cancer.

“Narrowband” UVB (UVB-NB) has become the phototherapy treatment of choice for psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema), and other photoresponsive skin disorders.

2022年4月5日 · Narrowband UVB or NBUVB uses a specific wavelength of ultraviolet radiation – 211 to 312 nm. This range of UV radiation is a component of natural sunlight shown to have benefits for treating psoriasis.

You will receive Narrowband UVB, the most common form of phototherapy used to treat skin disease. Narrowband refers to a specific limited set of wavelengths of UV light, 308 to 312 nm, that has proved to be the most beneficial component of natural sunlight for treating skin disease.

2024年4月4日 · Narrow band UVB lamps emit light within a smaller, therapeutic range of wavelengths, reducing the risk of sunburn and making it potentially safer and more effective than broadband UVB.

2025年1月22日 · Combining baricitinib with narrowband UVB phototherapy led to significant repigmentation and enhanced quality of life in adults with active vitiligo, in a phase 2 trial.
