Abstract in brief

  • This study analyzed the effects of Dead Sea Climatotherapy (DSC) on 436 vitiligo patients treated between 1997 and 2005, finding that about 39% experienced significant repigmentation, especially with longer exposure and shorter disease duration.
  • Results indicated that the size of the affected area and how long a patient had vitiligo negatively impacted treatment success, with larger or longer-standing cases responding less favorably; longer stays at the Dead Sea improved outcomes.
  • Climatotherapy was generally effective, and factors like disease severity, duration, and treatment length played key roles in determining patient response, suggesting DSC as a promising option for vitiligo management.
