First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding the cholesterol 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 main goal was to see if the combination reduced the amount of skin color loss more than UVB alone after 6 months.
