Objectives To compare efficacy of PDT PDL treatment psoriasis Methods We studied 61 nails treated 60 group 14 patients. The used as light source. Sessions were applied monthly treating one hand PDL. was methyl-aminolaevulinic (MAL, Metvix®) 3 h using patch. at baseline, after 6 months according Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) score. Results A decrease NAPSI score observed both treatments involvement. No statistical differences found between (P = 0.632, P = 0.084, P = 0.535, months, respectively), scores (P = 0.423 P = 0.853, respectively). subjective impression good, especially regarding pain. Conclusions seems be improves MAL does seem play role clinical response. Conflicts interest None declared.
