Summary

Phototherapy delivered at home or the office are both common treatments for psoriasis but it is not known how well they compare to one another. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness, safety (tolerability), and duration of treatment response at 12 weeks of home versus office-based NB-UVB phototherapy for the treatment of psoriasis. 

If you choose to participate in this study, you will be randomly assigned to receive either office-based phototherapy or home-based phototherapy. This means that you will have a 50-50 chance of being assigned to either group.

Description

You must be willing to be randomized to either office or home based phototherapy. During the study you will also be asked to complete electronic questionnaires at required time points using a study phone application. Questionnaires will take between 5-15 minutes.

FAQ

Eligibility Criteria: must be a new or established patient seen in the dermatology clinic, > 12 years old, and your provider must recommend NB-UVB (narrow band ultra violet) phototherapy (also called light therapy) for the treatment of psoriasis.
