Summary
This study tested whether adding the cholesterol-lowering drug atorvastatin to standard UVB light therapy works better than UVB alone for active vitiligo. 28 adults with active non-segmental vitiligo took part. The goal was to see if the combination could reduce the amount of white patches on the skin after 6 months of treatment.
