Systemic PUVA photochemotherapy is widely used for a variety of skin diseases. Administration of 8-methoxypsoralen in a dilute bathwater solution may be an effective alternative therapy with no systemic side-effects and requiring smaller amounts of UVA to induce the required phototoxic response.

Photoprotection of the eye in PUVA therapy
British Journal of Dermatology, 1978Photochemotherapy with psoralens, now widely used in the therapy of psoriasis, vitiligo and mycosis fungoides, has been proposed to have the capacity, during long-term therapy, to induce ocular damage, e.g. cataract. This view is based on animal experiments (Cloud, Hakim & Griffin, 1960, 1961; Free-man & Troll, 1969) and as a consequence adequate ...

Carcinogenic Risk of Bath PUVA in Comparison to Oral PUVA Therapy
Dermatology, 1999The potential carcinogenic risk of bath PUVA therapy was compared to that of systemic (oral) PUVA. An analysis of the epidemiological data on cancer risk following bath PUVA with trimethylpsoralen does not support the conclusion that bath PUVA per se is less carcinogenic than systemic PUVA with 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP).

PUVA is an acronym for psoralen plus ultraviolet-A radiation. This form of photochemical therapy is commonly used in the treatment of psoriasis and vitiligo, but it is also beneficial in other dermatologic diseases. An understanding of psoralen's mechanism of action and the unique properties of the various psoralen preparations is important in ensuring

PUVA therapy of chronic actinic dermatitis
British Journal of Dermatology, 1985Four men with long-standing chronic actinic dermatitis were treated with a modified PUVA regime which initially included generalized applications of topical steroids given immediately after PUVA exposure. All patients are now free of rash, no longer need protection from UV radiation, and are being maintained on twice monthly PUVA therapy (IO J/cm2).

Melanocyte changes following PUVA therapy
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1979The effect of psoralens and long-wave ultraviolet light (PUVA) therapy on human melanocytes was studied at the ultrastructural level. The results demonstrate an increase in the number of melanocytes, a change in their location, and an increase in the size of the melanosomes.
