title: [Evaluation of the effect of local corticosteroids in the phototherapy of psoriasis].
abstract: An open clinical trial was carried out in order to establish to what extent the application of topical corticosteroids with the UVB therapy influences the complete dosage of the UVB radiation required for the clearing of psoriasis and the duration of remission. Out of 30 patients who were administered the suberythemogenic UVB dosage, 15 received a topical corticosteroid and 15 an indifferent ointment (u. emolliens). Although the therapeutic response was initially somewhat more immediate in the corticosteroid--UVB group, there is no statistically significant difference between these two groups in the total UVB dosage required for the remission of the disease. The patients in the topical corticosteroid--UVB group remained in remission longer than the patients in the control group receiving no local corticosteroid.
