Official title
Autologous Transplantation of Hair Follicles for the Treatment of Vitiligo on Glabrous Skin
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
There are several surgical methods to treat vitiligo patches, and follicular unit extraction (FUE) is one among them. FUE, performed using punch biopsy extraction and hair follicle transplantation, has proven safe and effective in multiple studies for treatment of hair bearing (non-glabrous) skin. This technique has not yet been trialed on hairless areas (glabrous skin) affected by vitiligo, such as the lips, fingertips, knuckles, wrists, and feet, which tend to be resistant to standard treatments. We suspect this technique will be successful in patients who have responded well to other therapies in all areas except for non-hair bearing areas.
