Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the skin which causes disfigurement of skin. Treatment options for moderate to severe psoriasis are systemic therapies like methotrexate, cyclosporine, acitretin, biologic agents and phototherapy. This study was designed to compare the therapeutic efficacy of PUVA, PUVASOL and NBUVB in the treatment of chronic plaque type psoriasis involving more than 20% body surface area. PUVA therapy is an effective modality of treatment in chronic plaque type psoriasis. NBUVB therapy has equal efficacy to PUVA therapy in our study.
