Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Yiqiqubai granule combined with 308-nm excimer laser treatment for segmental vitiligo (SV).
METHODS: A prospective research was performed in 233 patients with SV treated in Shanghai General Hospital from 11 February 2015 to 25 August 2016, they were divided into group A (n = 75), group B (n = 78) and group C (n = 80) according to the random number table. Group A was treated with Yiqiqubai granule, group B treated with 308-nm excimer laser and group C treated with combined treatments. The treatment time lasts for 6 months. The clinical efficacy, color-reverse rate and quality of life of the three groups were assessed.
RESULTS: After treatment, the effective rate and markedly effective rate of group C (87.5%, 51.3%) were significantly higher than group A (74.7%, 42.7%) and group B (80.8%, 47.4%) (p < .05). Color-reverse rate of group C (66.5 ± 17.6%) was much higher than group A (47.2 ± 16.4%) and group B (49.9 ± 24.2%) (p < .05). Significant differences were found among three groups after treatment in terms of embarrassment, social and work (p < .05).
CONCLUSIONS: The combination of 308-nm excimer laser and Yiqiqubai granule in the treatment of SV has good clinical effect.
