Abstract
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of compound glycyrrhizin combined with narrow-band ultraviolet B(NB-UVB) in treating patients with psoriasis vulgaris.Methods A total of 126 patients with psoriasis vulgaris treated in our hospital from February 2007 to November 2010 were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group.Seventy-two patients in the treatment group were treated with NB-UVB radiotherapy combined with compound glycyrrhizin,and 54 patients in the control group were treated with NB-UVB radiotherapy alone.The curative effects were evaluated in terms of the area of injury and therapeutic effect indexes.Results The PASI score after treatment for both groups was obviously lower than before,and the score of the treatment group was significantly lower than the control group after treatment.The efficacy rate was respectively 87.5% and 79.6% for the treatment group and the control group,with a significant difference(P0.05).Conclusion NB-UVB combined with compound glycyrrhizin is safe and effective in treating psoriasis vulgaris,and it is worth popularizing.
