After 48 sessions, hospital-based 308-nm MEL achieved 79.5% efficacy, while home-based 308-nm LED reached only 38.9%.
Comparable cumulative doses showed similar efficacy outcomes, indicating dosage adjustments influence results.
Higher adverse events were reported in the home-based group at 63.9%, compared to 30.8% for the hospital-based treatment.
Shorter disease duration and stable disease were significantly correlated with better treatment outcomes.
