Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to prove effects of an oriental medical complex therapy on vitiligo patients who have experienced the Eximer laser therapy. Method: The study conducted its investigation targeting these four patients who have not been observed with any satisfactory reaction to the Eximer laser therapy. The study analyzed the findings through the comparison on the pictures before and after the therapy. Result: After comparing the pictures, the study confirmed positive changes in the conditions of the patients. The oriental medical complex therapy turned out to be effective enough to treat the patients who have gone through the Eximer laser therapy before. Conclusion: Such result leads the study to a conclusion that the oriental medical complex therapy can be an effective way to treat these patients who do not have a satisfactory reaction to the Eximer laser therapy. In addition, the author of the study suggests that more clinical trials should be conducted.
