A study reported that a common arthritis medication can improve hair growth in people with alopecia. According to the reports, more than half of trial participants with alopecia experience near-complete regrowth over a six-month period.
The two outlets describe similar findings, citing clinical-trial results in which the drug appears to stimulate regrowth for a substantial portion of participants. Both mention that the observed improvement occurs within roughly six months. However, the sources provided here do not detail key aspects such as the specific drug name, trial size, patient selection, placebo use, or the proportion of participants who did not respond, limiting how fully the results and their strength can be independently assessed from the information shown.
