Abstract:
Alopecia areata is an unpredictable hair-loss condition. As there is no cure for
alopecia areata and no effective conventional therapy, a substantial number of
alopecia areata patients resort to complementary and alternative medical remedies and therapies (CAM). This review on the application of CAM in
alopecia areata addresses two pertinent aspects. First, it provides a current overview of the published medical literature on CAM used in
alopecia areata, and
alopecia areata-related studies. Second, it presents a thorough assessment of the considerations and limitations of the use of CAM for the treatment of
alopecia areata. A systematic MEDLINE search yielded 13 studies of the clinical use of CAM in the management of
alopecia areata, all belonging to one of the five main categories of CAM. Methodological quality was analyzed using objective assessment scores (Wilson and Lawrence scores). Unfortunately, no study was of sufficient internal validity to provide robust evidence of the benefit of CAM. This might be attributable to several specific disease characteristics of
alopecia areata, which require an especially solid trial design to properly assess the therapeutic effects of CAM. The review concludes with some recommendations for improving the quality of trials incorporating CAM in the treatment of
alopecia areata.
쭉 길게 써 있지만
원칙적 치료에 낮지 않는 원형 탈모증 환자들이 대체 보완치료를 받고 있으며
13개의 메드라인에 발표된 연구결과 크게 다섯종류의 치료로 이루어져 있으며
논문들의 검증결과 탄탄한 구조로 안되어 있어 확인하기 힘들어 좀더 탄탄한 구조의 논문이 필요하다는 내용입니다.
