N2 - In 1991, consensus guidelines recommended psoralen plus ultraviolet A photochemotherapy (PUVA) for those requiring second-line therapy for psoriasis. Narrowband (TL-01) UVB has since become more widely available, replacing the less effective broadband sources. Objectives To compare the efficacy of TL-01 UVB phototherapy and trimethoxypsoralen (TMP) bath-PUVA for chronic plaque psoriasis.
