June 2026 in “International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences” This study compared the adverse effects of baricitinib and methotrexate in treating severe alopecia areata and found baricitinib to have a better safety profile, though it was associated with increased cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL levels.
June 2026 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” In this pilot study, both tofacitinib and methotrexate improved alopecia areata outcomes, but tofacitinib showed greater efficacy in achieving significant SALT score improvement after 6 months, although the difference was not statistically significant.
May 2026 in “Journal of the Egyptian Womenʼs Dermatologic Society” In this prospective study, 15 patients with patchy alopecia areata treated with intralesional methotrexate every two weeks showed a significant improvement in hair regrowth and reduction in lesion severity, with changes linked to decreased tissue levels of TNF-α.
