- Brief Summary
Vitiligo is a chronic pigmentary skin disorder presenting with depigmented patches. The course of the disease is unpredictable and there are various treatment options available. This is a prospective, comparative, randomised clinical study to assess the safety, efficacy and tolerability of topical tofacitinib vs topical tofacitinib with puvasol in the treatment of vitiligo. Each group will have 33 patients each. The study will be conducted at a tertiary hospital. One group will be treated with 2% topical tofacitinib cream applied twice daily for a period of 4 months. The other group will be treated with 2% topical tofacitinib cream applied twice daily along with oral trioxsalen 20-40 mg give thrice a week 2 hours before sun exposure with 48 hours spacing for a period of 4 months. Thus the study aims to find the best possible results in the management of vitiligo.
