Comparing skin-graft methods for non-vitiligo white patches
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests three different skin-grafting techniques (including a laser method) for treating white patches that are not vitiligo. It aims to see which method works best for people whose patches have not improved with standard treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have white patches that are NOT vitiligo, and they have been stable (no new spots) for at least 6 months.
- You have tried standard treatments like creams or light therapy, but they didn't help enough.
- You have at least two similar-sized white patches that can be compared.
- You have no history of keloid or thick scars, no active infections, and no bleeding problems.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you can attend follow-up visits.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a surgery that uses your own skin cells to treat stable vitiligo patches. It may help when creams or light therapy haven't worked.
This trial tests whether applying a methotrexate lotion after a special laser treatment (fractional CO2 laser) can help repigment vitiligo patches better than the lotion alone. The laser makes tiny holes in the skin so the medicine may absorb more deeply.
This trial tests two topical creams (one is a natural amino acid, the other is a chemotherapy-like drug) applied after a laser treatment to see which works better for restoring color in vitiligo patches. It may help if you have focal vitiligo and are otherwise healthy.
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 study tests a small skin graft approach to help wounds caused by prior radiation heal better. If you have a radiation-related skin wound that usually heals slowly on its own, this may speed healing and improve comfort.
