» Combination of topical garlic gel and betamethasone valerate cream in
» the treatment of localized alopecia areata: a double-blind randomized
» controlled study.
»
» BACKGROUND:
» Alopecia areata is a recurrent, nonscarring type of hair loss. Different
» modalities of treatment have been used to induce hair re-growth. AIMS: To
» determine the efficacy of topical garlic gel in the treatment of alopecia
» areata.
»
» METHODS:
» Patients were randomly divided into two groups of garlic gel and placebo.
» The two groups were advised to follow the treatment twice daily, for three
» months. Both groups received topical application of corticosteroid
» (betamethasone cream 0.1% in isopropyl alcohol) twice daily. Baseline
» demographic characteristics and the size of patches, total number of grown
» hair and number of terminal hair at the end of each month were recorded.
» Effectiveness was assessed by scoring the results. Statistical analysis was
» done by means of chi-square and t test.
»
» RESULTS:
» Forty patients met the inclusion criteria and enrolled for the study. The
» first group (garlic treated) consisted of 20 patients (12 males, 60% and
» eight females, 40%). The second group (control) consisted of 20 patients
» (10 males, 50% and 10 females, 50%). At the end of the treatment, good and
» moderate responses were observed in 19 (95%) and one (5%) patients of the
» case group respectively, which was significantly better than the control
» group (P = 0.001). No complication was observed in the patients under
» study.
»
» CONCLUSION:
» The present study showed that the use of garlic gel significantly added to
» the therapeutic efficacy of topical betamethasone valerate in alopecia
» areata and that it can be an effective adjunctive topical therapy for
» alopecia areata.

i wonder what they mean by.................good and moderate results were observed..........what does this mean? regrowth? maintaining what they have?

some of these studies are very vague
