Immunomodulatory Effects of NB-UVB and Steroids in Vitiligo: A Study on CXCL11 and TEMRA Biomarkers
this is a prospective, randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating the immunological effects of narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy-both as monotherapy and in combination with oral mini-pulse (OMP) steroids-in non-segmental vitiligo patients. The study evaluates changes in CXCL11 (a chemokine involved in T-cell recruitment) and TEMRA (terminally differentiated effector memory T cells re-expressing CD45RA) levels in serum before and after treatment.
