Blue light therapy shows promise for vitiligo repigmentation
NCT ID NCT07174024
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compared blue light therapy to targeted narrow band UVB for treating stable non-segmental vitiligo in 30 patients. The goal was to see which treatment better restores skin color. Both are light-based therapies, but blue light may be less harsh on the skin.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
blue light emitting diode therapy and narrow band UVB phototherapy
What this could lead to
If blue light works as well as UVB, it could offer a gentler, more convenient option for repigmenting vitiligo patches.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed Phase 4 trial with only 30 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. Blue light may be less effective or cause side effects like skin sensitivity.
