Microneedling with minoxidil and light therapy for stable vitiligo
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of microneedling, a topical solution called minoxidil, and narrowband UVB light therapy to see if it can improve stable vitiligo patches. It may help repigment the skin where color has been lost.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two treatments for vitiligo: narrowband UVB light therapy combined with either tacrolimus ointment or calcipotriol ointment. It aims to see which combination works better and is safer for people with stable, limited vitiligo.
This study tests a gel containing latanoprost on vitiligo patches in teens. It aims to see if the gel can help restore skin color in stable, non-segmental vitiligo.
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 a new treatment for non-segmental vitiligo that uses a special liquid made from stem cells, applied through tiny needle pricks or small injections, alongside standard light therapy. It may help restore pigment to white patches with fewer side effects than traditional treatments.
This trial tests whether a combination of micro-needling (tiny needles that create microscopic wounds to stimulate skin repair) and an anti-inflammatory ointment called crisaborole can help repigment white patches caused by stable vitiligo. It may be beneficial if your vitiligo has been stable and not spreading.
This study tests whether combining hyperbaric oxygen (breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber) with narrowband UVB light therapy can improve vitiligo, a condition that causes white patches on the skin. The treatment aims to restore skin color by helping skin cells produce pigment.
