    TLDR Acupuncture therapy significantly reduced hair loss in women aged 31-50 with female pattern hair loss.
    The study conducted from December 19, 2016, to January 21, 2017, investigated the effect of acupuncture therapy on reducing hair loss in women aged 31-50 suffering from androgenetic alopecia, also known as female pattern hair loss. The traditional treatment involved acupuncture at five points: Baihui (GV20), Sishenchong (EX- HN1), Taixi (KI3), Taiyuan (LU9), and Taichong (LV3). The pre-experimental research used a pre-post test group design with 10 subjects. Hair pull tests were performed before and after the treatment. The results showed a significant difference in the number of hairs lost before and after the treatment (p=0.018, mean value 1.10, 95% confidence interval). The study concluded that the acupuncture therapy significantly reduced hair loss in women aged 31-50 (p<0.05).
