Ultrasound and Steroid Cream for Vitiligo
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying a strong steroid cream (betamethasone) with the help of ultrasound waves (phonophoresis) can repigment vitiligo patches. It aims to see if this combination works better than the cream alone.

This trial tests whether adding short bursts of steroid pills to a skin cell transplant procedure can improve results for people with stable vitiligo on hard-to-treat areas like elbows and knees.
This trial tests whether taking small doses of steroids by mouth for a few days before and after a skin cell transplant (NCES) can reduce the white halo that sometimes forms around the treated area. It is for people with stable vitiligo on the face or trunk that hasn't responded to creams or light therapy.
This trial tests whether combining narrowband UVB light with topical steroids can help treat vitiligo, and looks at specific blood markers (CXCL11 and TEMRA) to see how the treatment affects the immune system. It may help patients with stable, non-segmental vitiligo who have not used systemic therapy in the last 3 months.
This study tests whether microneedling (tiny needles that prick the skin) combined with a chemotherapy cream (5-fluorouracil) works better than a strong steroid cream for treating vitiligo patches on a small area of the body. It's for people with limited vitiligo (covering no more than 10% of their body) who have not used other vitiligo treatments.
This trial tests a new cream for vitiligo on the face or neck. It aims to see if the cream can help bring color back to white patches.
This trial tests a new gel made from stem-cell substances (secretome) given with narrow-band UVB light therapy for stable non-segmental vitiligo. It compares two ways of applying the gel to see which works better.
