    Pietro Gentile, Soo-Ik Lee
    Studysummary In this observational study, patients with androgenic alopecia or hair loss related to COVID-19 showed more significant hair regrowth when treated with combined pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and photobiostimulation therapy compared to photobiostimulation therapy alone, with a statistically significant increase in hair count.
