Clinical Trial Summary

Comparing the Efficacy of Three Different Surgical Methods on Resistant Sites in Stable Vitiligo.

Clinical Trial Description

The treatment of vitiligo includes both medical and surgical modalities, whose goal is to restore melanocytes to the depigmented skin so that the epidermis restores back to normal morphology and functions. Although medical treatment is the main stay of treatment, it is not effective in all and residual lesions need augmented surgical treatment later for further completion of repigmentation.

Now a day surgical modalities have become treatment of choice for stable vitiligo not responding to medical treatment although there are numerous sites which do not respond that well to surgical procedure as well. The investigators ought to compare the efficacy of 3 well established surgical methods i.e. Mini Punch Grafting vs Suction Blister Epidermal Grafting vs Non Cultured Epidermal cell Suspension on stable vitiligo patches localized to acral areas and bony prominences like elbows, knees and ankles. Out of all the vitiligo patches in a given participant, 3 different patches on acral and bony areas will be chosen and participants will be treated with 3 different methods. ;
