March 2019 in “Applied sciences” Laser therapy might help regrow hair in alopecia totalis better than steroids alone.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.

January 2022 in “Clinical Cases in Dermatology” A condition called Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia causes hair loss and scalp burning in middle-aged African women, and it's treated with various medications, hair transplants, and non-drug methods like wigs.
December 2015 in “Journal of skin and stem cell” Using a gel called Diclofenac can potentially cause hair to grow back in bald spots in older men.
