背景：窄带紫外线B灯（NBUVB）治疗白癜风是当前护理标准的重要组成部分。然而，关于NBUVB在白癜风中的剂量和施用尚无一致的指导方针，这反映在世界各地不同的治疗实践中。目的：建立光疗建议，以方便临床管理和确定需要进一步研究的领域。方法：白癜风工作组（VWG）光疗委员会通过3次电话会议解决了19个有关光疗管理的问题。光医学学会的成员和一组光疗专家就他们的光疗实践进行了调查。结果：通过对比分析调查结果、专家意见和电话会议讨论，形成NBUVB光疗治疗白癜风的专家建议。局限性：在提出最终建议之前，有几个领域需要进一步研究。此外，在文献回顾和评估这些建议制定过程中的证据强度时，没有使用标准化的方法。结论：VWG的这套专家建议是基于来自世界各地的光疗专家的处方实践，创建了一套统一的，广泛适用的NBUVB在白癜风中的使用建议。
Background: Treatment of vitiligo with narrowband ultraviolet B light (NBUVB) is an important component of the current standard of care. However, there are no consistent guidelines regarding the dosing and administration of NBUVB in vitiligo, reflected by varied treatment practices around the world.Objective: To create phototherapy recommendations to facilitate clinical management and identify areas requiring future research. Methods: The Vitiligo Working Group (VWG) Phototherapy Committee addressed 19 questions regarding the administration of phototherapy over 3 conference calls. Members of the Photomedicine Society and a group of phototherapy experts were surveyed regarding their phototherapy practices.Results: Based on comparison and analysis of survey results, expert opinion, and discussion held during conference calls, expert recommendations for the administration of NBUVB phototherapy in vitiligo were created.Limitations: There were several areas that required further research before final recommendations could be made. In addition, no standardized methodology was used during literature review and to assess the strength of evidence during the development of these recommendations.Conclusion: This set of expert recommendations by the VWG is based on the prescribing practices of phototherapy experts from around the world to create a unified, broadly applicable set of recommendations on the use of NBUVB in vitiligo.
