Targeted Broadband Ultraviolet B Phototherapy Produces Similar Responses to Targeted Narrowband Ultraviolet B Phototherapy for Vitiligo: A Randomized, Double-blind Study

Abstract

The study was carried out in a small number of patients with skin types III, IV and V. The irradiation device was a targeted UVB device and thus the results may not be applicable to other light sources, such as the excimer laser or total-body irradiation cabinets. In conclusion, targeted broadband UVB produces similar clinical responses to targeted NB-UVB in the treatment of the non-segmental type of vitiligo.
