Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Daylight photodynamic therapy with methyl aminolevulinate cream as a convenient, similarly effective, nearly painless alternative to conventional photodynamic therapy in actinic keratosis treatment: a randomized controlled trial.
Daylight photodynamic therapy (DL-PDT) of actinic keratosis (AK) has shown preliminary efficacy and safety results comparable to conventional photodynamic therapy (c-PDT), using methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) cream. ⋯ Daylight-mediated PDT was not inferior in efficacy to Metvix c-PDT (mild AK response rate), better tolerated, nearly painless and more convenient for patients.
