VIDEO: At-home light therapy viable as first-line treatment in plaque psoriasis

In this Healio exclusive video, Steven R. Feldman, MD, PhD, discussed psoriasis research from the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting examining the LITE study in plaque-type psoriasis.

Feldman, professor of dermatology, pathology and social sciences and health policy at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, discussed the study, which compared home light therapy as a first-line treatment for plaque-type psoriasis as opposed to in-office treatment.

“At this point, I think doctors, their incentive structure is sort of leaning towards giving people biologics rather than home phototherapy. But home phototherapy is something we ought to be considering,” Feldman said.
