Abstract

This article was designed to report our original results and share the experience with the application of low-intensity polychromatic incoherent polarized radiation for the treatment of the patients presenting with onychodystrophies associated with lichen ruber planus. The clinical effectiveness of phototherapy was evaluated taking into consideration the dermatological index and dynamics of structural changes in the nail. In the patients treated by the medication therapy alone, the dermatological index reflecting the severity of the pathological process decreased by 74% within 4 months after the onset of therapy whereas it fell down by 96% on the average during the same period in the patients in whom the medication therapy was supplemented by the application of low-intensity polychromatic incoherent polarized radiation. It is concluded that the combined pharmacophysiotherapeutic method produces more pronounced effect on the ultrastructure of the nail apparatus than pharmacotherapy alone; its application is pathogenetically substantiated.
