“…EL yielded optimal results as assessed using the Physician Assessment of Individual Signs (PAIS), the Physician's Global Assessment (PGA), the Patient's Global Assessment (PaGA), and a pruritus scale. In another study, 16 FSL phototherapy (wavelengths of 320-5000 nm) used in conjunction with an emollient yielded a significantly greater improvement in SCORAD scores at 4 weeks as compared to the emollient alone. One RCT 6 compared NB UV-B treatment and synchronous bathing in 10% Dead Sea salt solution----also known as synchronous balneophototherapy (sBPT)----to monotherapy with NB UV-B.…”

“…6,17,18 Most of the studies compared different types of phototherapy, including high-dose (HD) UV-A1, medium-dose (MD) UV-A1, UV-B, UV-A and UV-B combination therapy (UV-AB), NB UV-B, and PUVA. Other modalities were excimer laser (EL), 8 full-spectrum-light phototherapy (FSL), 16 and synchronous balneophototherapy (sBPT). 6 One study evaluated the utility of a skin-reflectance-guided UV-B regimen as a means of reducing the cumulative dose of radiation.…”

“…10,15,18,19,22---27 In most studies, the outcome measures were changes in scores on clinical scales. The most frequently used scales were SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCO-RAD) or a modified form of SCORAD, 6,7,9,16,17,19,21,28 Costa's Simple Scoring System (SSS), 10,15,18,27 the Leicester scale, 15,27 and the severity score 29 of Hanifin and Rajka. 23---26 Some studies also used quality-of-life scales (Eczema Disability Index, 17 Sickness Impact Profile 6 ) and assessments of pruritus.…”

There is evidence for the use of narrow-band UV-B and UV-A1 phototherapy in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Evidence supporting the use of PUVA in atopic dermatitis is scarce and there is little information on the use of phototherapy in childhood. For the purpose of future studies, it would be advisable to use comparable criteria and scales for the evaluation of disease severity and patients, to standardize radiation methods, and to establish a minimum follow-up time.
