A Randomized Double Blind Clinical Trial on a Sabgh Formulation for Patients With Vitiligo . BACKGROUND The cosmetic problem that vitiligo produces affects patients psychologically . Many patients with vitiligo are suggested to cover their white skin patches with cosmetic products . There are formulations in traditional Iranian pharmacy to color these white skin patches . In this study , one of these formulations was compared with a cosmetic formulation . METHODS Two groups of patients were selected . One group used a marketed formulation and other group used a traditional Iranian Pharmacy formulation . The quality of life of the patients was compared based on the Dermatology Life Quality Index Questionnaire . RESULTS Both interventions were associated with statistically improved Dermatology Life Quality Index scores over the 8-week intervention ( P < .05 ) , although the difference between the 2 was not statistically significant ( P = .436 ) .
