. Current approved medications for hair loss, such as topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, may have suboptimal efficacy or side effects precluding continued use in some patients. Thus, we report an evaluation of the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a new topical botanical formulation -GASHEE containing over 12 phytoactive ingredients that affect multiple targets in the cascade of pathophysiologic events that cause hair loss. Five patients with various hair-loss conditions, including cases of previous treatment failures, are presented. . This is a case series of four women and one man with hair loss due to various causes, four of whom had failed minoxidil treatment for over a year. All patients used the topical treatment as a sole therapy for at least 3 months before the documentation of outcomes, which involved interval changes noted through each patient's account, direct observation, and photography. . In all patients, we observed significant improvements in hair regrowth in the nape, crown, vertex, and temple areas after 3-15 months of treatment. All patients were highly satisfied with their results and reported no adverse events. Although the use of botanicals in the treatment of hair loss is in an infant stage, the new formulation used in this study demonstrated a good efficacy related to hair growth, warranting further evaluation.
目前获批用于治疗脱发的药物,如外用米诺地尔和口服非那雄胺,在某些患者中可能疗效欠佳或存在副作用,导致无法继续使用。因此,我们报告了一种新型外用植物配方——GASHEE的疗效、安全性和耐受性评估,该配方含有12种以上的植物活性成分,可作用于导致脱发的病理生理事件级联反应中的多个靶点。本文介绍了5例患有各种脱发病症的患者,包括之前治疗失败的病例。 这是一个病例系列,其中有4名女性和1名男性因各种原因脱发,其中4人米诺地尔治疗失败超过一年。所有患者在记录结果前至少3个月将该外用治疗作为唯一疗法,结果记录包括通过每位患者的描述、直接观察和拍照记录的间隔变化。 在所有患者中,治疗3至15个月后,我们观察到后颈、头顶、头顶和颞部区域的毛发生长有显著改善。所有患者对治疗结果高度满意,且均未报告不良事件。尽管植物药用于脱发治疗尚处于起步阶段,但本研究中使用的新配方显示出与毛发生长相关的良好疗效,值得进一步评估。
