Ultrasound boosts steroid cream for vitiligo in new trial

This study tests if using ultrasound (phonophoresis) to push betamethasone cream deeper into the skin can help control vitiligo, a condition that causes white patches. Researchers will enroll 60 adults with vitiligo who are otherwise healthy. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the visibility of patches, but it is not a cure—ongoing treatment is expected.
