Microneedling with Minoxidil for Stable Vitiligo
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining microneedling (tiny needle pricks to stimulate skin) with minoxidil cream, with or without special UV light therapy, can help restore skin color in people with stable vitiligo. It aims to find the most effective treatment combination for this skin condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a gel called latanoprost for teens with stable vitiligo. It looks at whether the gel helps bring back color to white patches on the skin.
This trial compares two types of needle treatments (needling and microneedling) combined with light therapy to see which works better for people with vitiligo that has lasted more than a year.
This trial tests whether a new combination treatment (microneedling plus a non-steroidal ointment called crisaborole) can help repigment patches of vitiligo that have been stable for a while. It is for people with non-segmental vitiligo that is not spreading.
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.
This trial tests whether combining hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing high-pressure oxygen in a chamber) with a specific type of ultraviolet light can help restore skin color in people with vitiligo. Vitiligo is a condition where patches of skin lose their pigment.
This trial tests whether adding a daily nasal spray (Melanotan II) to light therapy helps restore color in stable vitiligo patches. It may be a good option for adults with mild to moderate nonsegmental vitiligo that hasn't changed in at least 6 months.
