Article Synopsis
  • Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune skin condition, and the study investigated the combination of compound glycyrrhizin (CG) with topical minoxidil for treatment effectiveness.
  • A systematic review of randomized controlled trials found that this combination significantly improved clinical outcomes and reduced specific inflammatory markers compared to minoxidil alone.
  • The results showed no notable difference in adverse events between the two treatment methods, suggesting that the combination therapy is both effective and safe for patients with AA.
