A double-blind study of superficial radiotherapy in chronic palmar eczema.

The effect of superficial radiotherapy as an adjunct to topical therapy in recalcitrant chronic symmetrical palmar eczema was assessed in fifteen patients by randomly allocating active treatment to one palm while the other, which received simulated therapy, served as a control. There was a significantly better response to active treatment at 1 month but this difference was no longer apparent at 3 and 6 months.
