This research aims to explore the complex mechanisms of vitiligo pathology and the effectiveness of diverse treatment modalities, particularly phototherapy.
Nationwide survey on NBUVB utilization among dermatologists in India
Biopsies from patients undergoing NBUVB treatment analyzed for cellular changes
Assessment of serum CXCL10 levels in patients with active vitiligo compared to controls
NBUVB therapy resulted in significant repigmentation after 50-70 sessions with evidence of increased melanin production and restored melanocytes in biopsies.
CXCL10 levels were significantly higher in active vitiligo compared to stable vitiligo and healthy controls, correlating strongly with disease activity.
Effective treatment regimens may require a combination of NBUVB and immunosuppressants to ensure stabilization and repigmentation.
