Happiness Through Health Ancient Drug, Special Light Curing Skin Disease Psoriasis By Otto McClarrin Special to the Post While not life-threatening, psoriasis, which is caused by over-rapid growth of skin cells, can be a serious physical and psychological problem. Patches of scaly, itchy skin can spread over 90 percent of the body. Many patients are so embarrassed by the un-1 sightly condition they avoid all' public contact. A revolutionary treatment for severe psoriasis has proved overwhelmingly successful in nationwide tests involying more than a thou sand victims of the disfiguring skin disease. The treatment, developed in 1974 by a team of Massachusetts General Hospi tal (MGH) specialists, com bines the use of an ancient Egyptian drug and a new form of light. More than eight million Americans are plagued by chronic psoriasis at an annual medical cost of nearly $1 billion. In the tests, 1,308 patients were treated two or three times weekly at 16 medi cal centers across the country over an 18-month period. In only three percent of the cases did the treatment fail to work, and only one percent developed temporary dizzi ness believed associated with standing in the special light. Eight percent left the study for personal reasons. Of the 1,005 patients whose psoriasis cleared up, 787 needed fewer than 30 treat ments. Among the original MGH group of patients testing the new treatment, one 50 year-old man was enabled to resume sex relations with his wife for the first time in seven years. Another went to a public beach for the first tiipe in his life. Not only is the new treat ment quick, dry and clean in contrast to the messy, incon venient and expensive coal-tar baths presently used in severe cases, the patients also ac quire as a side dividend - a glowing, roseate tan. ι The drug used is called 8 methoxypsoralen, a member of a family of compounds that are activated in the human system Dy sunlight. For the psoriasis treatment, however, GTE Sylvania of Danvers had to develop an intensified ver sion of long-wave ultraviolet light, popularly called "black" light and used in discotheques To undergo the treatment, each volunteer took a capsule of the drug (at a cost of about 15 cents a piece), waited two to three hours and then, while completely disrobed, stood in a small enclosed chamber for I ■ periods of one to 30 minutes of exposure to the "black" light. The treatment worked quickest, the study found, for patients with lighter skins, ("those who always burn, never tan"). Conversely, those who "always tan, never burn" required more frequent treatment. Each treatment requires about an hour, and ixi the future is expected to be able to be available through physi cians' offices. While the new treatment cannot be made available generally until ap proved by the Food and Drue Administration, the success ol the trials Is expected to hasten FDA approval. Because of the inherited underlying cause of psoriasis persists, the new treatment cannot be regarded as a "cure." However the tests showed that once a patient's psoriasis had cleared, flare ups of the skin condition could be controlled by a mainten ance treatment once every week to three weeks.
