May 27, 2024 updated by: Rattapon Thuangtong, Siriraj Hospital

A Randomized, Split-head Comparison Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Platelet-rich Fibrin and Platelet Rich Plasma in Female Pattern Hair Loss Patients : A Pilot Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare between platelet-rich fibrin and platelet-rich plasma in female pattern hair loss . The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

  • efficacy between platelet-rich fibrin and platelet-rich plasma
  • safety between platelet-rich fibrin and platelet-rich plasma Participants will be divided into 2 side of treatment with composed of

    1. Platelet rich plasma
    2. Platelet rich fibrin

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Subject was treated both platelet-rich fibrin and platelet-rich plasma for 3 times which 1 month interval then will be followed up at 4 months and 6 months after last treatment

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: PRF and PRP

All patients were treated with both platelet rich fibrin and platelet rich plasma but each side of head (left or right) was split with
