      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: The second combination of interventions for the second group: 1. NB-UVB with microneedling and topical steroids for one of the vitiligo patches 2. NB-UVB therapy with Microneedling for one of the vitiligo patches 3. NB-UVB therapy with topical steroids for one of the vitiligo patches 4. NB-UVB therapy alone for one of the vitiligo patches &#13;
For the second interventional group 4 types of single or combined interventions will be allocated randomly on four vitiligo patches. Microneedling will be done 8 times, with the intervals of 2 weeks during a period of 4 months using MT.DERM GmbH, Gustav-Krone-Str.3 made by Germany. The depth of penetration for this procedure will be set on 1 mm the same as laser therapy for the first group. NB-UVB (phototherapy) UV 7001K will be done after 5 days after the first microneedling. The starting dose is 50 mj in square centimeters. It will be done twice a week for 8 weeks. Raising the therapeutic dose of phototherapy is 15 percent in each time. After starting the second half of intervention (start of 8th week) phototherapy will be done again in the same afore-mentioned protocol. Topical ointment Clobetasol .05% will be applied three times daily for 3 weeks and one week interruption. It begins again after 4th week and will be continued to 4 months after initiation of interventions. Based on above, the interventions will be accomplished for a period of 4 months. One week, 4 weeks, 2 months, 4 months and six months monitoring of different outcomes will be done after the start of interventions. Intervention 2: The first combination of interventions for the first group:&#13;
1. NB-UVB therapy with CO2 Fractional Laser and topical steroids for one of the vitiligo patches &#13;
2. NB-UVB therapy with CO2 Fractional Laser for one of the vitiligo patches&#13;
3. NB-UVB therapy with topical steroids for one of the vitiligo patches&#13;
4. NB-UVB therapy alone for one of the vitiligo patches&#13;
For the first interventional group 4 types of single or combined interventions will be allocated randomly on four vitiligo patches. Two sessions of fractional CO2 laser therapy will be accomplished at the beginning and after 8 weeks using 10 600 nm eCO2 laser (Lutronic Corporation, Goyang, Korea). The energy pulse will be set on 100 Joules with 150 points per cm2 density in static state. NB-UVB (phototherapy) UV 7001K will be done after 5 days after each laser treatment. The starting dose is 50 mj in square centimeters. It will be done twice a week for 8 weeks. Raising the therapeutic dose of phototherapy is 15 percent per in each time. After the second laser treatment, phototherapy will be done again in the same afore-mentioned protocol. Topical ointment Clobetasol .05% will be applied three times daily for 3 weeks and one week interruption. It begins again after 4th week and will be continued to 4 months after initiation of interventions.&#13;
Based on above the interventions will be accomplished for a period of 4 months.&#13;
One week, 4 weeks, 2 months, 4 months and six months monitoring of different outcomes will be done after the start of interventions.</i_freetext>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Scale of pigmentation improvement of lesion( scale of repigmentation). Timepoint: 1 week, 4 week, 2 months, 4 months and 6 months after start of treatment. Method of measurement: The scale of repigmentation (increase the amount of pigment in vitiligo patches) will be classified based on percentage of improvement in 4 grades. The ratings are: Scale 0: no repigmentation- Scale 1: Returning pigmentation between 0% to 25% which is mild pigmentation- Scale 2: The return of pigmentation 25% and 50% which is average- Scale 3: Good pigmentation which is between 50% to 75%- Scale 4: the return of pigmentation between 75% and 100% which is considered excellent. Measurements are performed by a physician through examination under a Wood's lamp and photography.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Complications due to interventions. Timepoint: 1 week, 4 week, 2 months, 4 months and 6 months after start of treatment. Method of measurement: Every kind of local or generalized complication due to intervention which according to the confirm of dermatologist should be recorded in the questionnaire. These complications are usually redness and irritation at the site of intervention.</prim_outcome>
