Pilot Study of 15 Patients Receiving a New Treatment Regimen for Androgenic Alopecia: The Effects of Atopy on AGA
May 2011
TLDR The new treatment regimen was effective in promoting significant hair growth in all 15 male patients with androgenic alopecia.
In a pilot study from April to December 2010, 15 male patients with androgenic alopecia were treated with a new regimen, including a topical combination called NuH Hair, which contains finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil, with optional additions of Rogaine foam, Propecia, and ketoconazole shampoo. The group comprised 10 atopic and 5 non-atopic individuals, aged 24 to 72. All patients experienced significant hair growth, with those using the full four-component regimen seeing results in as little as 30 days, and those using only NuH Hair seeing results after 3 months. The study, which used photographs for documentation and monthly assessments for compliance, found no side effects and suggested the need for a larger, controlled study.
