Assessment of Vascular Circulation in Alopecia Areata Using the FMSF Technique

This study assessed vascular circulation in alopecia areata (AA) patients using the FMSF technique, involving 24 women with AA and 17 healthy controls. It found significant impairments in microcirculatory function in AA patients, particularly in neurogenic oscillations, suggesting neuroinflammation's role in AA pathogenesis. The FM and NEURO parameters were notably lower in AA patients, indicating microvascular dysfunction. The study underscores the potential of FMSF in understanding AA's pathogenesis and highlights the importance of considering vascular health in managing the condition.
