Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) as a New Approach and Promising Therapy in Patients With Alopecia Areata

This abstract describes androgenetic alopecia, a common dermatological condition, and does not provide new clinical findings.

This article discusses the patterns and variants of alopecia areata, including the rare sisaipho, but reports no new research findings.

This study reported that topical azelaic acid cream 20% demonstrated statistically significant efficacy in treating localized alopecia areata of the scalp over 12 weeks, comparable to topical clobetasol ointment 0.05%, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic option.

This study presents a case of treatment-resistant alopecia universalis that successfully responded to a combination of tofacitinib and oral minoxidil, highlighting a potential therapeutic approach for challenging cases of alopecia areata.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma injections resulted in earlier hair regrowth responses in alopecia areata patients compared to triamcinolone, but the difference was not statistically significant at 9 weeks.

This review discusses evidence for alopecia areata treatments, highlighting their ability to stimulate hair growth but noting limited data on long-term efficacy and impact on quality of life.
