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 ...

American family physician, 1991
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.

PUVA, Etretinate, and PUVA-Etretinate Therapy for Pustulosis Palmoplantaris
Archives of Dermatology, 1987Thirty patients with severe pustulosis palmoplantaris completed a placebo-controlled comparative trial. Patients were randomly allocated to placebo or etretinate therapy; after two weeks, psoralen plus long-wave ultraviolet light (PUVA) treatment was instituted on one hand or foot, while the other hand or foot served as an untreated control.

By common usage phototherapy has come to mean the treatment of disease by ultraviolet (UV) or visible radiation either alone or with an added chemical. In dermatology phototherapy is generally restricted to describe treatment of skin disease with UV-B (290–320 nm) and the added chemicals are topically applied coal tar or anthralin.

Autografting and PUVA A Combination Therapy for Vitiligo
The Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology, 1992A novel approach to the management of vitiligo is described using a combination of epidermal autografts transplanted into the depigmented areas and psoralen‐ultraviolet‐A (PUVA) therapy. Epidermal autografts can be obtained rapidly and in large numbers using a device that combines the synergistic effects of suction and heat on the skin.
