Clearance of psoriasis after the full treatment period

Background summary
The idea of combining tar with light-therapy is almost a century old.
Previously, tar has been used extensively all over the body. We would like to
investigate the use of short contact, local tar application on psoriatic
lesions during UVB-therapy.
Study objective
We expect faster clearance of psoriatic lesions with the use of short-contact,
local tar application during UVB-therapy, which will result in a lower
cumulative UVB dosage.
Study design
A prospective single blind randomized clinical trial
Intervention
application of coaltar solution or placebo
Study burden and risks
There will be short contact with a coaltar solution. The side effects of
coaltar are little. There will be a very less extra time taken of the patients.
