research Supplementary Material for: Efficacy of Acupuncture Therapy in a Patient with Long-standing Alopecia Areata: Case Report
This case report describes a 61-year-old male with long-standing alopecia areata (AA) who experienced significant improvement and complete resolution of hair loss after nine months of acupuncture therapy, consisting of 55 sessions. The treatment involved plum-blossom needle tapping, circumferential needling, and systemic body acupuncture, administered three times weekly. The patient's condition improved within two months, and the migratory pattern of hair loss diminished. This case suggests that acupuncture may be an effective non-pharmacological treatment for persistent AA, although further controlled studies with biomarker analysis are needed to understand the therapeutic mechanisms.
