This study found that vibration assisted analgesia reduced pain during intralesional corticosteroid therapy for hair loss, enabling treatment in a broader range of patients, including those with needle phobia.

This study reviewed 20 studies and found that pulse corticosteroid therapy led to complete hair regrowth in 38.53% of patients with severe alopecia areata, but came with many unwanted side effects.

In this case report, treatment with corticosteroid and cyclosporine improved hair growth in a 19-year-old male with alopecia universalis over 51 days.

This study found that both superficial cryotherapy and intralesional corticosteroid injections significantly improved hair growth in patients with alopecia areata, with similar efficacy between the two treatments, establishing cryotherapy as a simple and noninvasive treatment option.

This study found that pediatric patients with severe alopecia areata showed significant improvement with systemic corticosteroids but typically experienced relapse within 4-5 months, also seeing an increase in weight percentiles.

This case study reports successful regression of alopecia areata in a female patient through DPCP immunotherapy supported by oral antihistamines and topical corticosteroids, suggesting indirect antihistamine effects on allergic inflammation may contribute to improvement.

Hair cortisol levels can indicate stress and are affected by washing frequency, not cosmetic treatments.

This study found that low-dose intermittent corticosteroid therapy may be a successful and well-tolerated treatment option for patients with alopecia areata, including those with alopecia totalis and universalis.

In this study, tibial cortex transverse transport accelerated wound healing in diabetic rats, potentially through enhanced mobilization of non-classical monocytes and increased M2 macrophage polarization.

This study explored the relationship between menopause symptoms and hair cortisol concentrations among midlife Latinas, finding that vasomotor symptoms were associated with higher hair cortisol levels, suggesting a link warranting further investigation with larger sample sizes and multiple time points.

In this study, university students given open-label placebo treatment reported reduced psychological distress and lower hair cortisol concentrations during stressful exams, suggesting that these placebos may help manage the physiological and psychological impacts of prolonged stress.

This case report highlights significant hair regrowth in a Malaysian woman with localized alopecia areata after intralesional triamcinolone acetonide treatment at a concentration of 5 mg/mL.

This study found a partial positive association between adulthood stressor exposure and hair cortisol levels, but noted inconsistent results across two studies, reflecting variability seen in previous research.

This study suggests that hair cortisol concentration may not reliably indicate psychological distress or differentiate clinical from non-clinical populations, as observed in a female PhD student over nine years.

This study found that in the Jordanian population, elevated cortisol levels were significantly associated with progressive keratoconus, whereas lower cortisol levels were linked to stable disease, suggesting cortisol may be a potential biomarker for monitoring keratoconus progression.

In this case report, a rare instance of ACTH-independent hypercortisolism in a patient with long-standing Addison's disease led to the discovery of an adrenal cortical adenoma, successfully treated with adrenalectomy, underscoring the importance of considering functional adrenal tumors in such atypical biochemical scenarios.

In this prospective study, patients with patchy alopecia areata showed significant dermoscopic improvement after three months of topical corticosteroid treatment, with a marked decrease in activity signs and increase in regrowth features.

Preoperative stress markers alone don't predict chronic post-surgical pain.

Lower family income is linked to more stress in parents and more behavior problems in children.

In this study, researchers found that gender-diverse individuals experience higher depression and anxiety levels than cis-gender heterosexuals and exhibit lower hair cortisol levels, suggesting a potential link to health disparities possibly driven by trauma-, fatigue-, and pain-related conditions.

Hair cortisol concentration partly reflects HPA axis regulation but doesn't capture all its complexities.

Self-collected hair samples can measure stress but may need adjustments for accuracy.

This study found that collecting hair samples for cortisol analysis is feasible in community-dwelling individuals with longstanding multiple sclerosis, although no significant correlation between hair cortisol levels and perceived chronic stress was observed, highlighting the complexity of stress measurement in this population.

In this study, researchers assessed cortisol levels in wolves by comparing hair and fecal samples and found a significant correlation, indicating that hair cortisol accurately reflects systemic levels, but season and body region affect results.

In this study, researchers observed that loneliness was positively linked to higher hair cortisol levels among African American men but not women, suggesting a potential sex-specific association between loneliness and stress-related physiological pathways.

This narrative review highlights the critical role of pharmacists in optimizing topical corticosteroid therapy through proper agent selection, dosing, and patient education to manage various steroid-responsive skin conditions effectively.

This study reviewed evidence suggesting that systemic corticosteroids, particularly in pulse regimens like dexamethasone and betamethasone oral mini-pulse, effectively slow vitiligo progression and support repigmentation, while offering a favorable safety profile compared to continuous therapy.

This review discusses the spectrum of lupus erythematosus conditions, specifically focusing on the different forms of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus, and reports no clinical results.

Intralesional injections work better than topical treatments for hair regrowth in alopecia areata.
