“…Although no controlled trials have been performed with UVB therapy, several case series have suggested improvement and even remission of disease in up to 85% of patients in a recent series with therapy three to four times per week, with a total of approximately 30–40 treatments 80–82 . PUVA has been studied in one small controlled trial in a bilateral comparison study, with eight or ten patients partially improving, and five being completely cured on the side treated with PUVA 83 . There was no change in disease on the side that was not treated in these patients.…”

To critically appraise the body of literature concerning treatment of lichen planus (LP).Design: Review of MEDLINE and BIOSIS databases to identify articles published with at least an English abstract before March 1998 that examined treatment of LP.Main Outcome Measures: Forming a primary database on which most recommendations are based. We thus selected 83 clinical trials or small series of patients in the medical literature that referenced clinical data on patients treated for LP.Results: There are no large randomized trials with definitive results in the medical literature examining the efficacy of the various drugs or physical treatments of LP. There are only 3 level B trials (small randomized trials with uncertain results because of moderate to high ␣ or ␤ error) that address efficacy of treatment in LP, ie, 1 with acitretin in cu-
