5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Empirical evidence of observer bias in randomized clinical trials: updated and expanded analysis of trials with both blinded and non-blinded outcome assessors
This study found that non-blinded assessors in randomized clinical trials exaggerated the effects of experimental interventions by about 29% compared to blinded assessors, indicating a significant potential for observer bias in treatment evaluations.
research Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes for the treatment of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases: current evidence from clinical trials
This study found that 15 clinical trials have been registered to investigate the use of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes for treating skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases, particularly alopecia, with a growing global interest and most trials conducted in the United States and China.
research Effectiveness of Extracellular Vesicle Application in Skin Aging Treatment and Regeneration: Do We Have Enough Evidence from Clinical Trials?
This review analyzed 12 clinical studies on extracellular vesicle therapies, finding potential benefits for skin aging, acne scars, alopecia, and wound healing, but highlighted significant challenges like production standardization and lack of large-scale studies.
research Pathophysiology, conventional treatments, and evidence-based herbal remedies of hair loss with a systematic review of controlled clinical trials
This literature review reports that certain herbal remedies, such as rosemary, green tea, and ginseng, have shown promise in promoting hair growth and improving hair density, though variability and study design limitations highlight the need for more rigorous research.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Evidence of DUT shedding in clinical trials?
Switching from finasteride to dutasteride may cause increased hair shedding, which is not well-documented in clinical trials. Some users report success with dutasteride, but experiences vary, and expectations may influence perceptions of effectiveness.
community The new growth in hair loss research: With increasing evidence of its impact on mental health, scientists are pushing forward with breakthroughs on balding. Later this year, scientists will launch one of the first ever clinical trials with hair follicles grown entirely from stem cells.
Hair loss impacts mental health, with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell transplants discussed. There is hope for future breakthroughs, but current treatments are limited, and awareness is lacking.
community Hair Multiplication Projects in China - Promising clinical trial results on Mice
A breakthrough in hair follicle cultivation using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has been achieved, producing large hair follicles suitable for transplantation. Clinical trials for this hair multiplication technology are planned in partnership with Yinguan Biotechnology.
community Pyrilutamide phase III clinical trial results released
Pyrilutamide did not show effectiveness in regrowing hair compared to a placebo, but it may still help maintain existing hair by preventing DHT from causing follicle miniaturization. Some users believe it could be beneficial when used with other treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community Han Bio Aims for Phase 1 Clinical Trials in 2027 after successful hair growth in mice
Han Bio plans to start Phase 1 clinical trials for a hair growth treatment in 2027 after successful results in mice. Many users express skepticism about the effectiveness of treatments that work on mice but not on humans, and discuss existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.

10 / 34 results- What do clinical trials say about the safety and effectiveness of SCUBE3 for hair regrowth? No clinical trial of SCUBE3 for hair regrowth has been registered on ClinicalTrials.gov or published, so there is no human safety or effectiveness data. The evidence is limited to one 2022 laboratory and mouse study reporting that SCUBE3 activates hair follicle stem cells through TGF-beta signalling.
- Ever wonder why your hair doesn’t grow back thick anymore? Maybe your scalp needs better blood flow: centella could help. There is no clinical trial of centella asiatica for hair loss and no study measuring scalp blood flow in people using it; the only hair-related evidence is a 2017 cell-culture study. Centella products are cosmetics that may soothe an irritated scalp, and the link between scalp circulation and pattern hair loss is itself unproven.
- Is Selenium more effective when taken orally or applied topically in shampoos or serums? The two are not interchangeable and the evidence points the other way from the common assumption: topical selenium disulfide shampoo has clinical trial support for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, while oral selenium supplements have no reliable evidence for hair growth in people who are not deficient, and excess intake is a recognised cause of hair loss.
- Can stem cell factor be combined with other topical hair loss solutions? No published human trial has tested topical stem cell factor alongside minoxidil or other established treatments, so neither the safety nor the benefit of the combination has been established. Community users report layering these products, but that is anecdote rather than clinical evidence.
- When will GT20029 be commercially available, and are there any clinical trials on its use? GT20029 is not approved or commercially available anywhere and remains investigational. A published 12-week Phase II study in 180 Chinese men reports hair-count gains over placebo, but no long-term or Phase III data exists, so any launch is years away at best.
