In this randomized controlled trial, researchers are assessing the efficacy and safety of acupoint catgut embedding combined with topical 5% minoxidil in treating androgenetic alopecia among 70 men, with primary outcomes focusing on changes in hair count after 24 weeks of treatment.

This study reported that injecting monofilament threads into the scalp significantly improved hair count and hair mass index in women with female pattern hair loss, with most participants noticing substantial improvements in hair characteristics compared to a placebo.

This study observed that gold thread implantation increased hair regrowth in both human patients and mice, suggesting it could be an effective hair regrowth treatment, although further studies are needed to understand its mechanisms and safety.

This study found that combining fire needle therapy with DHT treatment over eight weeks improved lesion severity, scar symptoms, quality of life, and reduced serum inflammatory cytokine levels in patients with moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris compared to using DHT alone.

This study concluded that catgut embedment combined with moxibustion and bloodletting may be more effective than finasteride for treating androgenic alopecia, possibly due to reductions in testosterone and the testosterone/estradiol ratio.
