摘要
目的:评价5-氨基乙酰丙酸光动力疗法(ALA-PDT)治疗难治性外阴硬化性地衣(VLS)的疗效。方法:本前瞻性研究共纳入60例难治性VLS患者。这些患者接受了6次ALA-PDT治疗。分别于治疗后3、6、12个月进行随访,评估患者主观症状及客观临床体征的改善情况。此外,采用Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)评价治疗后患者的生活质量(QoL)。结果:治疗后瘙痒和灼痛评分均显著降低(p < 0.05)。客观临床症状也有明显改善(p < 0.01)。治疗12个月后,60例患者中有53例(88.33%)达到临床显著缓解(定义为症状评分降低≥50%)。DLQI评分由治疗前的20分下降到4分、2分和3分,表明生活质量提高。大多数不良反应是轻微的,并通过支持性护理解决。结论:ALA-PDT是治疗难治性VLS的一种有希望的替代治疗方法,具有持续的症状缓解和客观的临床改善,且具有良好的安全性。
Analysis of subjective efficacy of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy in the treatment of refractory vulvar lichen sclerosus
Objective
This study evaluated the therapeutic effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) in refractory Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) patients. Methods: This prospective study enrolled a total of 60 patients with refractory VLS. These patients received 6 sessions of ALA-PDT treatment. Follow-ups were conducted at 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment to evaluate the improvement of patients' subjective symptom and objective clinical signs. In addition, the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was used to assess the quality of life (QoL) of patients after treatment.
Results
Significant reductions were observed in both itching and burning pain scores post-treatment (p < 0.05). Objective clinical signs also demonstrated marked improvement (p < 0.01). At 12 months after treatment, 53 of 60 patients (88.33%) achieved clinically significant response (defined as ≥50% reduction in symptom scores). The DLQI score decreased from 20 points before treatment to 4, 2, and 3, indicating enhanced QoL. Most adverse reactions were mild and resolved with supportive care.
Conclusion
ALA-PDT represents a promising therapeutic alternative for refractory VLS, offering sustained symptom relief and objective clinical improvement with a favorable safety profile.
