About this trial

This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of PUVA versus Tofacitinib in the treatment of generalized vitiligo. Given the high prevalence of vitiligo in Pakistan and the significant psychosocial impact on patients, particularly in Peshawar, this study will provide valuable insights into optimal treatment strategies.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

• Patients of either gender aged 18-60 years, diagnosed with generalized vitiligo (depigmentation affecting more than 10% of the body surface area).

Stable vitiligo (no new lesions or progression of existing lesions in the last three months).

Disqualifiers

Patients with a history of photosensitivity or allergies to Psoralen or Tofacitinib in order to prevent adverse reactions that could compromise patient safety and interfere with treatment efficacy assessment.

Pregnant or lactating women in order to ensure fetal and neonatal safety, as the effects of Psoralen and Tofacitinib on pregnancy and breastfeeding are not well studied and could pose potential risks.
