At a psoriasis day care centre 200 patients were treated with an ambulatory Goeckerman regimen, 25 of them twice, because of recurrence. This treatment consists of the application of a coal tar preparation at home at bedtime, followed the next day by exposure to high-intensity short wavelength ultraviolet radiation (UVB) at the centre. Treatment was given 5 days a week for 1 month. The psoriasis cleared in 86% of the patients after a mean of 21.6 UVB treatment sessions. The mean length of remission was 5.1 months, but at the time of follow-up 15 patients were still free of psoriasis. Compliance with the regimen was good to excellent in 94% of the patients. In our hands ambulatory treatment of psoriasis is much less expensive than hospital treatment and gives better results than photochemotherapy.
在一家银屑病日间护理中心，200名患者接受了门诊戈克曼疗法治疗，其中25名患者因病情复发接受了两次治疗。该治疗方法包括患者在家中睡前涂抹煤焦油制剂，次日在护理中心接受高强度短波长紫外线辐射（UVB）照射。每周治疗5天，持续1个月。平均接受21.6次UVB治疗后，86%的患者银屑病症状消退。平均缓解期为5.1个月，但在随访时仍有15名患者未患银屑病。94%的患者对该疗法的依从性良好至极佳。在我们看来，银屑病门诊治疗比住院治疗成本低得多，且比光化学疗法效果更好。
