Abstract

Association between baths with the thermal water of Comano Springs and selective photo-therapy UVB (bath-photo-therapy) has proved to be effective in 94% of psoriatic patients with non-extensive disease. Therefore bath-photo therapy represents a valid alternative to traditional topical treatments and can be used as a adjuvant in the interval periods of the aggressive modern therapy.
