Abstract: Objective To compare clinical efficacy difference between fire needle combined with narrow band ultraviolet-B（NB-UVB） and NB-UVB therapy for vitiligo.Methods Ninety-three cases of vitiligo were randomly divided into an observation group（n=48） and a control group（n=45）.In the observation group,fire needle was applied to ashi points around the damaged skin and Zusanli（ST 36）,meanwhile NB-UVB therapy irradiating the local area.The control group was treated by NB-UVB therapy.The clinical efficacy was evaluated after the treatment of 12 weeks.Results The total effective rate was 79.2%（38/48） in the observation group,which was superior to that 48.9%（22/45,P＜0.05） in the control group.Conclusion The fire needle combined with NB-UVB for vililigo achieves a more obvious efficacy than NB-UVB therapy.
