“…In small open prospective trials, it has been demonstrated that NB UVB is probably effective in diseases such as lichen planus, seborrheic dermatitis, and pruritus associated with polycythemia vera. Although itch appears to be one of the most responsive subjective symptoms to NB UVB, 12,31,33,35 there is a lack of well-designed studies on patients with pruritus associated with systemic diseases, in particular comparing BB UVB with NB UVB. Possibly NB UVB is also an effective, in particular potentially itch-reducing, therapeutic option for patients with chronic urticaria or acquired perforating dermatosis.…”

“…A nonrandomized trial of 43 patients found 25 patients were symptom-free after a 3-week course of broadband UVB therapy (5). NB UVB has been reported in a retrospective study to be of benefit for chronic idiopathic urticarial (7). A single study, however, examines its effect in symptomatic dermatographism (4).…”

Dermatographism occurs when there is an exaggerated response to physical stimulus. There are both simple and symptomatic forms. Symptomatic dermatographsim can be exceedingly difficult to treat. Treatment modalities include H1 and H2 antagonists, leukotriene antagonists, cyclosporine and oral steroids. In a few small case series and studies, phototherapy has been used. We report a further two patients who were treated successfully with TL01 UVB narrowband (NB) phototherapy.
