Efficacy of aromatherapy in the treatment of localized alopecia areata: A double-blind placebo controlled study
Öz: Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease of the hair follicle which is characterizedby round or oval patches of non-scarring hair loss. In this double-blind randomizedcontrolled study we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of aromatherapy (Revigen®Areata solution) in the treatment of localized alopecia areata. There were twogroups in this study, the aromatherapy group consisted of twenty patientstreated with aromatherapy (essential oils like thyme, rosemary, lavender, eveningprimrose oil and cedrus in a mixture of carrier oils like jojoba, grape seed, almond,lemon and soy oils). The placebo group consisted of 20 patients treated with onlycarrier oils. Each group was treated daily for three months. Hair growth rate (0-4score), clinical assessment (0-4 score) and the size of the affected area (cm2) wereevaluated before the treatment, at the end of the treatment and two months afterthe last treatment. At the end of the follow-up period, mean hair growth rates were2.65±1.37 and 1.11±0.5; and clinical assessment were 2.65±1.28 and 1.11±0.58 inaromatherapy and placebo groups respectively. Mean size of affected area wasdecreased from 6.54±10.18 to 3.40±7.62 in aromatherapy group and 6.73±8.88to 5.30±7.26 in placebo group. All observed differences between these treatmentgroups were statistically significant (p<0.05). Aromatherapy is significantly moreeffective than placebo and safe for the treatment of localized alopecia areata
