Minoxidil iontophoresis for pattern hair loss
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving minoxidil solution through the skin using a gentle electric current (a method called iontophoresis) can help regrow hair in people with pattern hair loss. It may offer a more effective way to deliver the treatment directly to the scalp.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
