The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of psoralen\u2013NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content> (P<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content>) vs. NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content> in vitiligo.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>In a randomized study, 45 Indian patients (age above 13 years) with vitiligo involving more than 5% body surface area were randomly allocated to receive either NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content> or P<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content> treatment. Both groups received NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content> exposure thrice weekly, with a total of 60 sessions. The extent of repigmentation achieved was calculated on the basis of Vitiligo Area Severity Index (VASI<\/jats:styled-content>) scoring.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Forty patients were available for analysis at the end of the study. The extent of repigmentation in the P<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content> group was statistically significantly greater in face and neck (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.006, t<\/jats:italic>\u2010test) and hands (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007, t<\/jats:italic>\u2010test) in comparison with the NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content> group (t<\/jats:italic>\u2010test). Percentage reduction in VASI<\/jats:styled-content> scores was statistically significantly greater in the P<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content> group (29.2% vs. 21.7%, P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.043, t<\/jats:italic>\u2010test). The response to P<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content> therapy started earlier than the response to NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content>. After excluding sunlight as a confounding factor, treatment response was also significantly better in the P<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content> group (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.005).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>Addition of psoralen increased the extent of repigmentation due to NBUVB<\/jats:styled-content> therapy in vitiligo.
