Abstract |
Background |
Although alopecia areata is a common disorder, it has no US Food and Drug Administration–approved treatment and evidence-based therapeutic data are lacking.
Objective |
To develop guidelines for the diagnosis, evaluation, assessment, response criteria, and end points for alopecia areata.
Methods |
Literature review and expert opinion of a group of dermatologists specializing in hair disorders.
Results |
Standardized methods of assessing and tracking hair loss and growth, including new scoring techniques, response criteria, and end points in alopecia areata are presented.
Limitations |
The additional time to perform the assessments is the primary limitation to use of the methodology in clinical practice.
Conclusion |
Use of these measures will facilitate collection of standardized outcome data on therapeutic agents used in alopecia areata both in clinical practice and in clinical trials.
