Study Overview
This study compares three treatment methods for stable vitiligo: cryoblebbing with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), cryoblebbing with melanocyte-keratinocyte transplant procedure (MKTP), and cryoblebbing alone.
Key Findings
- Effective Treatments: Both MKTP and 5-FU are effective for vitiligo.
- Better Results with MKTP: MKTP showed higher repigmentation rates compared to 5-FU.
- Study Details: Involved 20 patients with stable vitiligo across 128 areas.
- Repigmentation Rates:
- MKTP Group: 82.96% average repigmentation
- 5-FU Group: 44.79% average repigmentation
- Control Group: 28.23% average repigmentation
Implications for Treatment
MKTP is significantly more effective than 5-FU for treating stable vitiligo. Both treatments showed the reappearance of melanocytes, which are vital for skin pigmentation.
