The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 308-nm MEL versus localized 311-nm NB-UVB in vitiligo patients. &lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt; Eleven patients participated in this prospective intrapatient placebo-controlled randomized trial. In each patient, 3 lesions were selected and treated with NB-UVB, MEL and placebo during 24 sessions, respectively. Repigmentation was evaluated clinically and by objective surface measurement. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; Twenty percent of the lesions treated with NB-UVB achieved repigmentation scores above 50%. None of the lesions treated with MEL achieved a repigmentation higher than 50% after 24 sessions. &lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt; Localized 311-nm NB-UVB is effective in the treatment of vitiligo. It should be considered for localized vitiligo as it is easily accessible. In this study the efficacy of localized 311-nm NB-UVB was superior to 308-nm MEL.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000335272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,24]],"date-time":"2012-01-24T08:45:08Z","timestamp":1327394708000},"page":"343-348","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Intrapatient Comparison of 308-nm Monochromatic Excimer Light and Localized Narrow-Band UVB Phototherapy in the Treatment of Vitiligo: A Randomized Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"223","author":[{"given":"E.","family":"Verhaeghe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Lodewick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"van Geel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Lambert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001%2Farchderm.113.1.47"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fgepi.1370020107"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034%2Fj.1600-0749.2003.00023.x"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1755-148X.2011.00838.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1468-3083.2005.01369.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0781.2006.00189.x"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001%2Farchderm.1997.03890480113020"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1468-3083.2003.00818.x"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001%2Farchderm.1997.03890480045006"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001%2Farchderm.140.6.677"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2F1523-1747.ep12277164"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0781.2010.00510.x"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1562%2FRA-003R.1"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0781.2006.00250.x"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1468-3083.2007.02518.x"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1468-3083.2007.02151.x"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000275657"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/335272","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/335272","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:55:37Z","timestamp":1745434537000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000335272"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,6]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000335272","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011]]}}}
