    TLDR PRP may help with hair regrowth in male pattern baldness, but more research is needed.
    The document reviewed the literature on a placebo-controlled split scalp study of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for treating male pattern baldness. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of PRP in promoting hair growth compared to a placebo. The results indicated that PRP treatment showed a significant improvement in hair density and thickness on the treated side of the scalp compared to the placebo side. This suggested that PRP could be a promising treatment for male pattern baldness, although further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods was recommended to confirm these findings.
