Vitiligo: A Quest for Effective Treatments

In the vast desert of dermatological research, scientists are constantly seeking to understand and manage the challenging condition of vitiligo. This research explores the various interventions used to treat vitiligo, a condition characterized by patches of depigmented skin. The authors conducted a comprehensive review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating different interventions, including topical steroids, calcipotriol, oral psoralens, and phototherapy. The review highlights the need for high-quality RCTs to better understand the efficacy and safety of various treatment options for vitiligo, and to address important clinical outcomes such as quality of life and long-term benefits.
