- Abstract: Narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy has been regarded as the first-line treatment of generalized vitiligo. However, NB-UVB monotherapy exhibits limited efficacy with a long course of treatment. NB-UVB phototherapy combined with other therapies can shorten the course of treatment and improve the therapeutic effect, and has become a commonly used therapeutic regimen in clinical practice. This review summarizes research progress in the combined therapies of NB-UVB with other approaches for the treatment of vitiligo, such as glucocorticoids, afamelanotide, calcineurin inhibitors, Janus kinase inhibitors, platelet-rich plasma, fractional CO 2 laser and surgical treatment, in order to provide more options for clinical treatment of vitiligo.
