Background: Pruritus is very common in uraemic patients, but the treatment remains challenging. Studies regarding narrow band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy for uraemic pruritus are rare.
Objectives: To investigate whether NB-UVB phototherapy is an effective treatment for uraemic pruritus.
Methods: We conducted a single-blind randomized controlled trial for patients with refractory uraemic pruritus. The treatment group received NB-UVB phototherapy 3 times per week for 6 weeks. The dose of NB-UVB started from 210 mJ/cm2 and was increased by 10% at each time. The control group received time-matched exposures to long-wave ultraviolet light ...
