Arm Label

VL-UVA1 vs NB-UVB

Arm Description

Participants will be treated with both VL-UVA and NB-UVB on different areas

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in depigmentation of vitiligo lesion
Change in pigment will be assessed by colorimetry which measures change in pigment
Change in melanin content of vitiligo lesion
Change in pigment will be assessed by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy which will measure the melanin content and dyschromia

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
As part of this study, you may have a procedure called phototherapy which involves either VL-UVA or NB-UVB irradiation. NB-UVB phototherapy is not experimental in vitiligo, but use of VL-UVA1 phototherapy in vitiligo is. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine whether VL-UVA1 or NB-UVB phototherapy more efficiently induces repigmentation in patients with generalized vitiligo.
