Abstract
Objective : The purpose of this study is to analyse research trend on alopecia including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, etc.Methods : We searched Pubmed, CNKI and OASIS on the title "alopecia" in recent 5 years.Results : We found 23 studies on Pubmed, 20 on CNKI, and 3 on OASIS about treatments of alopecia. The subjects of them were about 5α-reductase inhibitor, Minoxidil, steroids, immunosuppression, laser therapy, PRP, microneedling, stem cell, herbal medicine, integrative medicine, external treatments and syndrome differentiation.Conclusions : In recent studies in western medicine were about combination therapy or safety and presented validities and superiorities about new treatments. Integrative medicine, external treatment and researches about patients' characteristics were reported in TCM. Korean medicine has advantages of considering whole body and phychological problems.
