    TLDR Platelet rich plasma is as effective as triamcinolone for treating alopecia areata.
    The study compared the effectiveness of intralesional platelet-rich plasma (PRP) versus intralesional triamcinolone in treating alopecia areata. The results indicated that PRP was more effective in promoting hair regrowth and had fewer side effects compared to triamcinolone. The study involved a significant number of participants, which strengthened the reliability of the findings. This suggested that PRP could be a preferable treatment option for patients with alopecia areata.
