The use of the Fototer 101 equipment for the psoriasis treatment.

Abstract

Lasser is known since the beginning of the XX Century, distinguished by a high brightness, monocromacity, unidirectionality and an elevated light coherence. The Cuban equipment Fototer 101 has only one difference from the Lasser. The difference is that the infrared radiation is not coherent, that is why its application should be done to minim distance from the body surface. Taking into consideration its economy workability joint with the possibility that neither have trouble nor damage effects for our patients, we decide to value its efficiency for the psoriasis treatment. This is an inflammatory, chronic disease that affects from 0,1 to 6% of the world population, with remarkables social limitations in which multiple therapies have been used. Using the simple method our patients are distributed with a clinic and histopathology diagnosis of psoriasis into three groups )n=20 for each group). Group A )control) is treated with an esteroide cream, group B )experimental) receives radiations by the Fototer 101 )photopuncture) and group C )experimental) receives radiations )zone application). The patients from group A were evaluated weekly during six months, while groups B and C were weakly evaluated during three cycles made by five weeks each. Our study demonstrates that the phototherapy with the Fototer 101 has been effective for psoriasis treatment.
