Filter by:Alopecia areata is a medical condition, in which the hair falls out in patches. The hair can fall out on the scalp or elsewhere on the face and body. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune skin disease, which means that the immune system is recognizing the hair follicles as foreign and attacking them, causing round patches of hair loss. It can progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis). The scalp is the most commonly affected area, but the beard or any hair-bearing site can be affected alone or together with the scalp. Alopecia areata occurs in males and females of all ages, and is a highly unpredictable condition that tends to recur. Alopecia areata can cause significant distress to both patients and their families. In this study, the aim is to assess the effects of dupilumab in patients with alopecia areata.
Primary: • To assess safety, tolerability and efficacy of 2 dose strengths of ATI-50002 Topical Solution, compared to vehicle in subjects with alopecia areata (AA) Secondary: • To evaluate key clinical outcome assessments
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ENERGI-F701 Solution in female subjects with hair loss.
This study will serve as a pilot study to determine the efficacy and safety of topical gabapentin in the treatment of symptomatic scarring alopecia.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of platelet rich plasma in reducing scalp symptoms and promoting hair growth in patients diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia. Platelet rich plasma is an autologous blood product, and platelet rich plasma will be administered intralesionally for this study. The platelet rich plasma used for this study will be prepared using the Eclipse Easy Spin centrifuge.
Current effective therapies of pattern hiar loss are topical minoxidil and oral finasteride. Finasteride is an inhibitor of type 2 5α-reductase and will cause hypospadias in male infant if taken or touched by pregnant woman. The effect of minoxidil is still known now but the dilation of scalp vessel might improve the progression of pattern hair oss. However, minoxidil is not effective for frontotemporal recession and sometimes cause scalp irritation. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) a new therapy to treat alopecia. In 2007, LLLT was approved by the FDA as a treatment for hair loss. In some small studies, patients had a decrease in the number of vellus hairs, an increase in the number of terminal hairs, and an increase in shaft diameter. Up to now, however, no longer, placebo-controlled studies have proved its efficacy in this application. According to the mechanism of paradoxical hair growth (PHG), sublethal injury to the hair follicle could stimulate the hair follicle to enter anagen via the release of factors that alter angiogenesis, leading to increased blood flow to the dermal papilla. Furthermore, load inflammation in the papilla nad heat shok response, possibly mediated by HSP27, may play a role in activation of follicular stem cell. This study is a randomized, blinded, self-comparison and superior clinical trial design. In this clinical trial, the investigators try to evaluate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy in treating pattern hair loss. Pattern hair loss is characterized by increased vellus hairs and decreased shaft diameter, and these features are improved by LLLT in previous.
This clinical trial attempts to investigate the efficacy of LEO 124249 ointment in the treatment of alopecia areata on the eyebrows.
The primary objective is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ATI-50002 Topical Solution compared to vehicle in subjects with AU and AT.
This is a pilot study to evaluate the effect of the 1550 nm fractional erbium-glass laser in patients with nonscarring alopecias. Participants currently living in the Chicago metropolitan area and meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be considered for enrollment. Participants will receive 5 sessions of laser, 30 days apart, to the area of alopecia on the scalp. Follow-up is at 150 days. This study was a pilot study designed to determine feasibility of this procedure.
Alopecia is a common, distressing condition that is sometimes difficult to diagnose and treat. Losing hair is not usually health threatening; it can scar a young child's vulnerable self-esteem by causing immense psychological and emotional stress, not only to the patient, but also to the concerned parents and siblings; so the cause of hair loss should be diagnosed and treated early to overcome the resulting problems.
