This pilot study detailed the use of Hair-to-Hair-matching technology™ in a clinical trial to assess botulinum toxin's efficacy in treating male androgenetic alopecia, providing a precise method for evaluating hair count and thickness changes over time.

This study found that the HairCheck® device, demonstrating high correlation between its Hair Mass Index and hair characteristics such as strand number and diameter, may be an effective tool for assessing hair mass changes in alopecia patients.

This article reviews various self-aggressive hair disorders such as trichotillomania and emphasizes the psychiatric aspects of these conditions, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews trichotillomania, highlighting its differences from OCD and recommending treatments like habit reversal therapy and specific medications, but reports no new clinical results.

This study involved using smartphone applications and low-cost trichoscopy devices to assess various hair and scalp conditions, with diagnoses confirmed through detailed imaging during remote consultations and in-person evaluations.

This study found that trichoscopy is a useful tool in differentiating between alopecia areta and trichotillomania on the eyebrows based on distinct hair and follicle features.

This study reported that Trichoscan, a computer-assisted hair measurement system, was not supported as accurate for clinical trials due to errors in signal detection, despite its analysis speed.

This article reviews the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing various types of alopecia and reports no new clinical results; it is suggested as a non-invasive method for diagnosis and monitoring treatment responses.

This mini-review summarizes the Trichoscan as a sensitive tool for measuring hair growth parameters, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting treatment response in androgenetic alopecia but noting some practical limitations.

This article discusses monilethrix, a rare human hair dysplasia caused by mutations in hair keratins, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the Massachusetts General Hospital Hairpulling Scale has acceptable internal consistency and divergent validity for assessing Trichotillomania severity, but demonstrated inadequate test-retest reliability and mixed convergent validity.

This study reviewed 78 childhood trichotillomania cases and found the scalp was the primary site for hair pulling, with comorbid psychiatric disorders present in many cases.

This review discusses the importance of physical examinations in trichology, emphasizing their role in diagnosing conditions like alopecia and hair dystrophies, and reports no new clinical results.

In this review, the authors concluded that trichoscopy is a quick, non-invasive, and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring non-scarring alopecia, offering a more precise and faster alternative compared to other diagnostic methods for identifying and managing different types of hair loss.

Trichotillomania, a disorder where people compulsively pull out their own hair, often starts around age 12, is more common in adult females, and can be treated with behavior therapy and medication.

This study reports a unique case of trichotillomania incognita in an adult female that mimicked female pattern hair loss, highlighting the importance of trichoscopy and histology for accurate diagnosis.

This study found that measuring hair thickness with a phototrichogram provided significantly thicker readings than using a micrometer caliper, suggesting that the phototrichogram may be more clinically useful for evaluating hair in patients undergoing hair transplantation.

This study found that the modified wash test was generally more effective than TrichoScan® for diagnosing hair loss, particularly telogen effluvium, though both methods showed only fair concordance with clinical diagnosis.

This review discusses trichotillomania treatments, highlighting that habit reversal training shows promise for children and adolescents, although further research is needed, as existing literature on this age group is sparse.

Trichoscopy is a useful non-invasive method for diagnosing different hair loss conditions.

This article reviews the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing common hair and scalp diseases and introduces a new classification for specific skin surface abnormalities, without presenting new clinical results.

In this review, researchers analyzed literature on trichotillomania and found advances in understanding its neurobiology—highlighting dysregulated reward circuits and genetics—and treatments, with behavioral therapy and innovative pharmacological approaches improving outcomes where traditional SSRIs do not.

In this report, trichoscopy was highlighted as a valuable tool for diagnosing temporal triangular alopecia in children due to its ability to reveal distinctive patterns that differentiate it from similar conditions like alopecia areata, eliminating the need for invasive biopsy.

This study concluded that trichoscopy is an effective, non-invasive tool for diagnosing telogen effluvium, with significant differences in trichoscopic findings between frontal and occipital scalp regions, aiding in distinguishing it from androgenetic alopecia for early diagnosis.

This study found that the TrichoScan method detected significant increases in hair counts and cumulative hair thickness in men after finasteride treatment, suggesting its potential for monitoring hair treatment responses.

This chapter reviews trichoscopic criteria and diagnostic features for various hair and scalp conditions, emphasizing their utility in non-invasive diagnosis, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that trichoscopy with a handheld dermatoscope may help differentiate temporal triangular alopecia from other localized alopecia by identifying specific hair features.

This study found trichoscopy to be a quick and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring tinea capitis in children, with improvements in trichoscopic features observed by week 2 and full recoveries confirmed mycologically by week 8.

This review summarizes trichoscopic features for diagnosing common hair loss disorders and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing their diagnostic utility in conditions like alopecia areata and trichotillomania.

This article discusses the utility of trichoscopy in distinguishing hair disorders with similar clinical appearances but reports no new clinical results.
