摘要：
Background Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentary disorder that affects between 1% and 2% of the general population. Phototherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment, with NB-UVB being the most frequently used. BB-UVA can be a plausible alternative for darker population; skin photo type III and IV. Patients and Methods The study was a prospective, randomized, controlled, and single-blinded clinical trial, conducted on 40 patients with bilateral symmetrical vitiligo. The patients were randomly divided into two equal groups; group (A) received a fixed dose of 15 J/cm2 BB-UVA, while group (B) received NB-UVB. The study was conducted for a period of 16 weeks (48 sessions). Results The final percentage of clinical improvement was significantly higher (P = 0.047) within the BB-UVA group (63.82% +/- 27.42), than within the NB-UVB group (44.32% +/- 29.78). Conclusion BB-UVA can be considered as an alternative treatment line for vitiligo.
