Photochemotherapy for Psoriasis
Archives of Dermatology, 1978To the Editor.— The article in the DecemberArchives(113:1667-1670, 1977) by Roenigk and Martin on photochemotherapy of psoriasis was most informative. The authors noted that their patients wore sunglasses that protect against ultraviolet-A (UV-A) for five hours after photochemotherapy is given in the office.

PHOTOCHEMOTHERAPY OF PSORIASIS
International Journal of Dermatology, 1978ABSTRACT: Orally administered 8‐methoxypsoralen followed by irradiation with longwave ultraviolet light (UVA, 320–400 nm, maximum 365 nm) resulted in 90–100% clearing in 24 of 26 psoriasis patients. Recurrence could be prevented by maintenance treatment. The treatment was tolerated well; no serious side effects were observed.

Photopheresis (extracorporeal photochemotherapy)
Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2012Photopheresis is a form of phototherapy where specialized equipment is used to isolate a leukocyte fraction from the peripheral blood which is then exposed to photoactivated 8-methoxypsoralen and reinfused into the patient. At the time of its invention the treatment was conceptually based on the hypothesis of T cell vaccination, i.e. the observation in

Photochemotherapy of Sézary Syndrome
Dermatologica, 2009Photochemotherapy was effectively applied in 4 patients with Sézary syndrome. Clinically, complete clearing of the skin could be achieved by this kind of treatment. Photochemotherapy may be recommended as a useful treatment of less advanced cases for patients with no history of extreme sun sensitivity.

Photochemotherapy using pyridopsoralens
Biochimie, 1985Aiming to decrease the acute side effects and genotoxic hazards of PUVA, pyrido (3,4-C) psoralen (PP) and 7-methyl pyrido (3,4-C) psoralen (MPP) were synthesized and studied. Their UVA maximum absorption lies at 325 and 330 nm, respectively. Their photostability is comparable to that of 8-MOP.

Phototherapy and Photochemotherapy for Psoriasis
Dermatologic Clinics, 2015Phototherapy is a first-line option for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. Systematic reviews indicate near comparable efficacy of the different forms of phototherapy. Localized phototherapy can be an adjunctive treatment of recalcitrant plaques during systemic treatment of psoriasis.

Phototherapy and Photochemotherapy
1983The beneficial and adverse effects of nonionizing radiation in the treatment of certain skin diseases may involve immunologic mechanisms. The most recent and direct evidence for this comes from studies of the effects of oral psoralen photochemotherapy (psoralen plus UVA radiation, PVA), which show that immune function is affected by this treatment ...

Psoralen photochemotherapy of psoriasis
British Journal of Dermatology, 2006The value of PUVA therapy in selected patients with severe psoriasis has been confirmed. Suppression of the disease was incomplete in those patients whose disease was unstable, with associated seborrhoeic dermatitic features. No consistent change in the proportion of epidermal cells in DNA synthesis could be demonstrated during regression of the ...

Phototherapy and photochemotherapy: An update
Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 1999Three types of phototherapy and 2 forms of photochemotherapy are now available for treatment of more than 40 diseases of the skin. Broadband ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy and oral psoralen photochemotherapy (PUVA) therapy are most widely available while there has been increased interest in topical PUVA therapy. Narrow-band UVB phototherapy and UVA-1

Photochemotherapy in the treatment of psoriasis
British Journal of Dermatology, 1977This article describes the satisfactory clinical improvement obtained in the majority of a group of 72 patients with psoriasis of various types as a result of the oral and/or topical administration of 8-methoxypsoralen followed by long wavelength ultraviolet irradiation. The irradiation source used was that of conventional longwave UV fluorescent tubes
