However, side effects have been a constant issue. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Objective:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; We evaluated the clinical efficacy and side effect of oral methylprednisolone (MPD) mini-pulse therapy combined with narrow-band UVB (NBUVB) for adults with non-segmental vitiligo retrospectively. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; 32 patients with extensive and\/or spreading vitiligo received 0.5 mg\/kg MPD on 2 consecutive days per week with NBUVB therapy for at least 3 months. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; All of the 32 patients (100%) showed progression arrest within 12 weeks. Nineteen out of 32 patients (59.4%) presented repigmentation on more than 25% of lesions. Thirteen patients (40.6%) achieved satisfactory repigmentation in more than 50% of lesions. Only 2 patients discontinued the medication due to gastrointestinal trouble. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Oral MPD mini-pulse therapy combined with NBUVB appears effective in arresting vitiligo progression and rapidly inducing repigmentation with minimal side effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000439563","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,5]],"date-time":"2016-04-05T21:03:28Z","timestamp":1459890208000},"page":"224-229","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["A Retrospective Study of Methylprednisolone Mini-Pulse Therapy Combined with Narrow-Band UVB in Non-Segmental Vitiligo"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"232","author":[{"given":"Jungsoo","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Howard","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hemin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5167-3449","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miri","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dae Suk","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sang Ho","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2010.11.061"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2010.10.043"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-4362.1999.00623.x"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1993.tb02754.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2001.113475"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000018260"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-4362.2000.00006.x"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.2009.093278"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/labinvest.3780138"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0923-1811(93)90039-R"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0019-5154.53185"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2004.02154.x"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2230.2005.01837.x"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.2006.00079.x"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.2005.tb00847.x"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2004.02329.x"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(00)90133-6"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2009.03928.x"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.134.12.1532"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0378-6323.42905"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/439563","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/439563","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T17:50:57Z","timestamp":1745430657000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000439563"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,3]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000439563","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,3]]}}}
