TLDR PUVA-turban therapy can help some people with severe alopecia areata regrow hair.
The document discussed the use of a PUVA-turban as a therapeutic option for managing alopecia areata.

The study suggested that this method could be effective in promoting hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata.
