Summary
Narrow band UVB phototherapy is the mainstay of therapy for vitiligo. However, about 1/3 of
patients cannot respond to phototherapy. The objective of this study is to determine if the
use of ibuprofen can induce non-photoadapters (patients who cannot tolerate increases in
NBUVB past 400 mJ/cm2 after 12 sessions) to convert to photoadapters and tolerate raising
NBUVB doses to therapeutic levels
