androgenetic alopecia scalp coverage scoring Norwood–Hamilton scale contrast-enhanced phototrichogram anagen hair male pattern baldness AGA SCS CE-PTG

Studysummary This study found that the scalp coverage scoring (SCS) method is a non-invasive and reproducible technique that effectively measures hair growth and loss dynamics in male subjects with androgenetic alopecia.

Research cited in this study

19 / 19 results

research Contrast Enhanced Phototrichogram Pinpoints Scalp Hair Changes in Androgen Sensitive Areas of Male Androgenetic Alopecia

22 citations , May 2002 in “Skin Research and Technology”

This study found that in male androgenetic alopecia, the contrast enhanced phototrichogram technique was superior in detecting changes in hair density and thickness compared to other methods.

research Perception of Baldness and Hair Density

16 citations , January 2002 in “Dermatology”

This study found that the parietal/occipital hair density ratio decreases significantly only when baldness is visibly present, making it no better than the Hamilton/Norwood scale for assessing baldness severity.

research Female Pattern Hair Loss: Clinical Features and Potential Hormonal Factors

10 citations , September 2001 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

Hormonal factors may affect female hair loss, needing further research and treatment ideas.

research Contrast Enhanced Phototrichogram: An Improved Non-Invasive Technique for Measurement of Scalp Hair Dynamics in Androgenetic Alopecia – Validation Study with Histology After Transverse Sectioning of Scalp Biopsies

12 citations , August 2001 in “PubMed”

This study found that contrast enhanced phototrichogram (CE-PTG) significantly improved detection of various hair types and growth stages in androgenetic alopecia compared to standard PTG and was comparable to biopsy analysis.

research The Prevalence and Types of Androgenetic Alopecia in Korean Men and Women

157 citations , July 2001 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

In this study, the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia among Korean men and women was found to be lower than in caucasians, with Korean men showing more frontal hairline preservation and a higher incidence of 'female pattern' hair thinning.

research Polymorphism of the Androgen Receptor Gene Is Associated with Male Pattern Baldness

299 citations , March 2001 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that specific genetic markers near the androgen receptor gene are significantly more common in men with male pattern baldness, suggesting a genetic component in its development.

research Hair Density, Hair Diameter, and the Prevalence of Female Pattern Hair Loss

234 citations , February 2001 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

FPHL affects hair density and diameter, causing visible hair loss in older women.

research Male-Pattern Hair Loss in Norwegian Men: A Community-Based Study

35 citations , January 2000 in “Dermatology”

In this study, Norwegian men aged 20-50 who perceived themselves as having more hair loss reported greater dissatisfaction and concern about aging compared to those without hair loss.

research Androgenetic Alopecia in Men: The Scale of the Problem and Prospects for Treatment

3 citations , January 1999 in “PubMed”

This review discusses the societal impact and treatment development for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting promising new drugs but reporting no new clinical results.

research Finasteride in the Treatment of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia

581 citations , October 1998 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

In male pattern hair loss, this study found that finasteride 1 mg daily significantly slowed hair loss and increased hair growth over two years compared to placebo.

research Effects of Self-Perceived Hair Loss in a Community Sample of Men

74 citations , January 1998 in “Dermatology”

This study reported that men with more significant hair loss experience greater negative psychosocial effects, particularly noticeable in younger age groups.

research Hair Problems in Women: A 1997 Study on Prevalence, Psychological Impact, and Treatment Approaches

37 citations , January 1997 in “Clinics in Dermatology”

This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata had significantly lower serum ferritin levels compared to women without hair loss.

research Photographic Documentation of Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia

102 citations , October 1996 in “Dermatologic Clinics”

Photographic documentation crucial for evaluating hair growth in androgenetic alopecia.

research Disorders of Hair Growth: Diagnosis and Treatment

26 citations , January 1994 in “McGraw-Hill eBooks”

This review discusses various aspects of hair biology and pathology, including hair growth control, hair loss causes, and scalp conditions, and reports no clinical results.

research Diagnostic and Predictive Value of Horizontal Sections of Scalp Biopsy Specimens in Male Pattern Androgenetic Alopecia

309 citations , May 1993 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This study concluded that horizontal sections of scalp biopsy specimens provide more diagnostic information for male pattern androgenetic alopecia than vertical sections and can predict hair regrowth potential following topical minoxidil therapy.

research Telogen Effluvium: A Comprehensive Review

214 citations , March 1993 in “Archives of Dermatology”

This article proposes five different mechanisms for telogen effluvium, supported by clinical findings, based on changes in different phases of the hair cycle.

research Scalp Immersion Proxigraphy: An Improved Imaging Technique for Phototrichogram Analysis

28 citations , October 1992 in “JEADV. Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology/Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology”

In this study, Scalp Immersion Proxigraphy (SIP) was shown to produce more accurate measurements of linear hair growth rate than crude phototrichogram techniques, suggesting SIP's suitability for clinical trials monitoring hair growth.

research Patterned Androgenic Alopecia in Women

130 citations , May 1988 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This study found that frontal and frontoparietal hair recession is relatively common in women, especially after menopause, and may not indicate abnormal androgen metabolism absent other virilization signs.

research Classification of the Types of Androgenetic Alopecia (Common Baldness) Occurring in the Female Sex

666 citations , September 1977 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This article presents a classification system for stages of female-pattern androgenetic alopecia to aid early diagnosis and mentions existing systems for rare male-pattern cases, but reports no new clinical results.
