Abstract
About this talk
This poster presentation details the clinical outcomes of the combination of an acupuncture protocol based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and photobiomodulation in the form of red light therapy. A 32 year old Caucasian female progressively developed vitiligo after receiving a work-mandated vaccination, and had seen no results from conventional treatments prior to seeking naturopathic care. At the clinic, she received a Traditional Chinese Medicine workup, 6 sessions of acupuncture with a customized protocol, and 20 minutes of red light therapy over the course of 3 months. Symptom improvement in the treated areas versus non-treated areas was clinically significant, showing between 50-75% re-pigmentation compared to baseline. This novel, non-invasive, non-pharmacological treatment proposes substantial potential in the treatment of vitiligo.
