Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of the efficacy and safety of PUVA therapy and narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) therapy in patients with psoriasis. A study was conducted among patients in Uzbekistan, assessing the dynamics of the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), the frequency of adverse effects, and the duration of remission. The results demonstrate that NB-UVB therapy surpasses PUVA in several clinical parameters, making it the preferred treatment modality in clinical practice.
