Response of Topical Capsaicin in Alopecia Areata

NCT00176969

Phase 4 Completed 24 enrolled University of Minnesota
Non-randomizedSingle-groupOpen-labelDiagnostic

Summary

It has been postulated that Alopecia Areata (AA) is, at least in part, a neurologically mediated disease. Research supporting this theory includes the finding that nerves surrounding the hair follicles are collapsed. We want to take this research a step further and show that not only are these perifollicular nerves collapsed, but that their function is also impaired.
