[alpha-Tocopherol in the combined treatment of vitiligo].

Photochemotherapy was combined with alpha-tocopherol in the treatment of 56 patients with vitiligo in order to shorten the treatment. alpha-tocopherol was used as antioxidant to reduce skin erythema and build up single UV doses. Due to 1.5-2-fold increase of UV exposure follicular mechanisms stimulation was enhanced in vitiligo foci, perifollicular pigmentation was achieved approximately 2 times sooner, and the length of treatment necessary to achieve manifest repigmentation (i.e. more than 50% of the maculae surface) was reduced twofold.

[Results of the therapeutic correction of psychoautonomic disorders in patients with vitiligo].

Psycho- and autonomotropic drugs, acupuncture, and psychotherapeutic conversations were used for the correction of psychologic abnormalities in 49 vitiligo patients, presenting with impaired sociopsychological adaptation and autonomic imbalance. The unfavourable status was effectively arrested with such treatment; if combined with photochemotherapy, it increased repigmentation by 20%; when a complete therapeutic complex was prescribed from the very beginning, the periods necessary to achieve marked repigmentation (of more than 50% of the vitiliginous maculae) were cut down by half.

[The psychological characteristics of patients with vitiligo].

Psychologic examinations, using the MMPI (a Multifactorial Method for Personality Investigations), of 74 patients with common vitiligo, have revealed impeded social adaptation in 63.5% and accentuation of the characterological personality traits in 29.7% of the examinees. The detected psychologic disorders of a borderline type are explained by both the presence of a manifest cosmetic defect--vitiligo, and by the individual characteristics of the patients--sex, age, type of psychologic reaction. Depigmentation and psychoemotional disorders are closely related, one stimulating the other.
