This review aims to synthesize current evidence on home phototherapy for psoriasis and address barriers to implementation.
Search conducted in PubMed and Embase for studies from January 2020 to March 2026, yielding 12 studies.
Included randomized controlled trials, observational studies, cost analyses, and technical comparisons without formal risk-of-bias assessment.
Findings interpreted by study design.
The LITE randomized trial indicates home narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy is non-inferior to office-based treatment for plaque and guttate psoriasis (p<0.05).
High patient satisfaction and improved adherence reported, with reduced indirect costs.
Erythema was common but rarely caused treatment discontinuation; long-term safety data is currently limited.
