Clinical Effect of Photodynamic Treatment When Treating Actinic Keratoses With Different Light Doses


To determine and compare clinical and histological effectiveness of different (70 J/cm2 ir
100 J/cm2) light doses when treating actinic keratoses with photodynamic therapy.

To determine pain intensity during photodynamic therapy with visual analogue scale and
factors influencing pain during the procedure.

5. Clinically and histologically confirmed AK of grade I or II.

6. Subject must be willing and capable of cooperating to the extent and degree required
by the protocol.

months prior to study treatment initiation.

10. Subject who had participated in another investigational drug or device research study
within 30 days of enrolment.

11. Subject had received in the study area laser resurfacing, chemical peels, topical
application fluorouracil or other drugs for the treatment of AKs within 2 months
before study entry.
