Evaluation of Platelet Rich Plasma for Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Placebo-Controlled Case Study

This placebo-controlled case study evaluated the effectiveness of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment on 14 female patients aged 20-45 years with Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL). Only 10 patients completed the study, with 7 receiving PRP and 3 receiving a saline placebo. The PRP group showed significant improvement, with 5 subjects showing 26-50% improvement and 2 showing 51-75% improvement, while the placebo group showed 0-25% improvement. The study concluded that PRP is a simple, cost-effective, and feasible treatment for FPHL with a good safety profile, but more extensive trials are needed to confirm these results.
