Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Change in Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) after NB-UVB phototherapy, and correlation of dermoscopic findings with this change in patients with non-segmental vitiligo.Timepoint: Baseline (before starting NB-UVB) 4 weeks of treatment 8 weeks of treatment 12 weeks of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1)Correlation of specific dermoscopic patterns (e.g., perifollicular repigmentation, pigment network) with extent of clinical improvement. 2)Access Safety/tolerability of NB-UVBTimepoint: Baseline (before starting NB-UVB) 4 weeks of treatment 8 weeks of treatment 12 weeks of treatment
