The effect of local as well as whole body irradiation with UVB was investigated in patients with chronic hand eczema not responding to conventional topical treatment. UVB irradiation of the hands was significantly more effective than placebo. Whole body UVB irradiation combined with additional irradiation of the hands proved to be even more effective than local treatment in clearing chronic hand eczema. Due to the relatively fast relapse of the hand eczema after the UVB treatment period maintenance treatment is warranted. This could possibly be carried out by the patients at home, but under surveillance by a dermatologist.
在对常规局部治疗无反应的慢性手部湿疹患者中，研究了局部及全身紫外线B（UVB）照射的效果。手部UVB照射比安慰剂显著更有效。全身UVB照射联合手部额外照射在清除慢性手部湿疹方面比局部治疗更有效。由于UVB治疗期后手部湿疹相对较快复发，因此有必要进行维持治疗。这可能由患者在家中进行，但需在皮肤科医生的监督下。
