Vitiligo |
Procedure: 6 to 9 ultraviolet B treatments Procedure: Skin biopsies |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Official Title: | Determining the Tolerance of Depigmented Skin to Targeted Phototherapy Using UVB in Patients With Vitiligo |
| Enrollment: | 17 |
| Study Start Date: | January 2006 |
| Study Completion Date: | May 2008 |
| Primary Completion Date: | May 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Patients with vitiligo received 6-9 ultraviolet B treatments, 2 to 3 times weekly. Minimal erythema dose (MED) testing was done at baseline and after all treatments; the percent change in MED was analysed as a measure of photoadaptation. The percent decrease in cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) over 24 hours after a single exposure of 1 MED was analysed on vitiliginous and normal skin.
