Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate and explore the mechanism of 1565-nm non-ablative fractional laser in the treatment of alopecia areata. The main questions it aims to answer are: (a) comparing the secretion of various cells and cytokines around and within hair follicles before and after treatment; (b) determining the Lord Want effector cells with cytokines and demonstrating that they mediate involvement in correcting the immune immunity collapse process. Participants' 1/2 of the treated alopecia area was compared to their own other half of the untreated alopecia area, and they were followed every three months for efficacy assessment and scalp biopsy.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Laser group

Every 3 weeks, a fixed 1 / 2 of the alopecia area was treated with a 1565-nm non-ablative fractional laser.

Procedure: 1565nm Non-ablative Fractional Laser
Every 3 weeks

Placebo Comparator: control group

There was no treatment for the other half of the alopecia area in the patients.

Procedure: placebo
Every 3 weeks

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change from Baseline alopecia area at one year [baseline and 3, 9, 12 months after the first treatment]

    The range of alopecia area in patients receiving 1565nm Non-ablative Fractional Laser treatment was assessed by the hair loss severity scoring tool (SALT) to evaluate the efficacy every three months. The higher the score, the more severe the hair loss and the less effective the treatment.

  2. Change from Baseline scalp biopsy at one week after the second laser treatment [baseline and one week after the second laser treatment]

    Single-cell sequencing will be used to analyze CD8 + NKG 2 D + T cells, Th 1, Th 2, Th 17, and Treg cells before and after treatment, analyzing differences in cytokine secretion.
