Effect observation of acitretin combined with narrow-band ultraviolet B in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris

Objective To observe the clinical effect of acitretin combined with narrow-band ultraviolet B(NB-UVB) on treating psoriasis vulgaris. Methods 112 patients with psoriasis vulgaris in our hospital from January to December 2013 were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group.Only acitretin was provided in control group,while acitretin combined with NB-UVB was applied in control group.The clinical effect between two groups was compared and observed. Results Score of psoriasis area and severity index(PASI) in observation group was greatly lower than that in control group.The cure rate and total effective rate in observation group were higher than that in control group.The onset time in clinic in observation group was obviously shortened.All comparisons between two groups displayed statistical differences(P0.05). Conclusion Acitretin combined with NB-UVB in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris can speed up drug′s use,shorten treatment time,and greatly improve clinical effect,which has an ideal application value in clinic.
