April 2018 in “Selçuk Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi dergisi” The study investigated the development of hyperalgesia in patients with androgenetic alopecia treated with autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Ten male patients aged 25-35 received PRP injections in the scalp over a year, experiencing increased pain sensitivity after each application, with the highest hyperalgesia observed in the first year post-treatment (p < 0.05). Hair density increased by 6.4%, 9.4%, 21%, and 27.6% at 1, 2, 6, and 12 months, respectively. The study concluded that repeated PRP injections could cause hyperalgesia, potentially due to growth factors in PRP, and recommended further research to understand this phenomenon.

January 2019 in “International Journal of Trichology” The study compared the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and minoxidil therapy for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 40 patients, with 20 in each group. After 6 months, results indicated that PRP therapy had better outcomes than minoxidil therapy based on global photography, hair pull test, hair growth questionnaire, and patient satisfaction scores. Higher platelet counts in PRP correlated with better clinical improvement. PRP therapy had minimal side effects and showed promise as a valuable alternative to minoxidil for AGA treatment.
