Can an antioxidant boost light therapy for vitiligo?
NCT ID NCT03941808
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a special antioxidant pill (GLISODIN) to standard UVB light therapy helps treat vitiligo better than light therapy alone. Fifty adults with non-segmental vitiligo covering more than 5% of their body took part. The main goal was to see if the combination reduced the amount of affected skin after 6 months.
