| metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: | Seborrheic dermatitis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases. The etiology of seborrheic dermatitis is unclear; however, some studies suggest that both a vulnerable immune system and the invasion of yeasts on the patient’s skin could contribute to the condition. To treat seborrheic dermatitis, there are many modulators divided to local treatments and systemic treatments. Using the ultraviolet to ease symptom is one of the alternative treatments. However, the systematic review of the effectiveness of ultraviolet treatment is not yet clarified yet. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of phototherapy treatments for seborrheic dermatitis. The systematic review is used to categorize the extensive information and perform critical appraisals to assess the quality of the papers. Each study is individually evaluated using the GRADE approach. Additionally, the PRISMA checklist 2020 and the Cochrane Public Health Group Data Extraction and Assessment are employed to clarify study details. A thorough search initially identified 65 records. After removing duplicates and carefully filtering and evaluating full-text articles, three papers were included in this systematic review: two prospective single-arm trials and one randomized trial with three arms. Each study employed different light therapy types, including green diode light therapy, narrow-band UVB, and intense pulsed light therapy. The heterogeneity of these interventions and research designs made an additional meta-analysis impractical. However, the findings indicate that phototherapy methods such as photodynamic laser, intense pulsed light (IPL) with 30% supramolecular salicylic acid, and narrow-band ultraviolet B (TL-01) phototherapy can offer successful treatment. Although initial evidence suggests the effectiveness of phototherapy treatments, they should be considered as part of a comprehensive treatment strategy that includes alternative agents. However, the current evidence is limited in both quantity and quality. Therefore, a large-scale randomized controlled trial is needed to establish the efficacy of phototherapy in treating seborrheic dermatitis |
