Recently, it has been shown that narrowband ultraviolet B (NB\u2010UVB) phototherapy may be more effective than psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) photochemotherapy in treating vitiligo, and that 308\u2010nm monochromatic excimer light (MEL) may present some advantages as compared to NB\u2010UVB for the treatment of vitiligo.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Aim\u2002<\/jats:bold> The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of NB\u2010UVB phototherapy and 308\u2010nm MEL in vitiligo patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> The study was done in a randomized, investigator\u2010blinded and half\u2010side comparison design. Twenty\u2010one subjects with symmetrical vitiligo lesions were enrolled in this study. Vitiligo lesions on one body side were treated twice weekly for 6\u00a0months with 308\u2010nm MEL, while NB\u2010UVB phototherapy was used to treat lesions on the opposite side.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> At the end of the study six lesions (37.5%) treated with 308\u2010nm MEL and only one lesion (6%) treated with NB\u2010UVB achieved an excellent repigmentation (score 4) while four lesions (25%) treated with 308\u2010nm MEL and five lesions (31%) treated with NB\u2010UVB showed a good repigmentation (score 3).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> It appears that 308\u2010nm MEL is more effective than NB\u2010UVB in treating vitiligo lesions and it induces repigmentation more rapidly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2007.02151.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,28]],"date-time":"2007-03-28T14:42:22Z","timestamp":1175092942000},"page":"956-963","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":101,"title":["Comparison
