Study Overview

Brief Summary

Aim of the study: To evaluate clinical effectiveness of two different light doses when treating actinic keratoses with photodynamic therapy with 20% 5-aminolevulinic acid.

Detailed Description

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.
