Comparative efficacy of various treatment regimens for @entity1665 in XXXX .

@entity1665 @entity1 @entity585 @entity3102 @entity5491
Our understanding of the aetiology of @entity1665 ( @entity1665 ) has substantially increased in recent years. As a result, several treatment modalities have been tried with promising results especially in early stages of @entity1665 . However, as far as has been ascertained, there is no comprehensive study comparing the efficacy of these agents alone and in combination with each other. One hundered male @entity1 with @entity1665 of Hamilton grades II to IV were enrolled in an open, randomized, parallel-group study, designed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of oral @entity585 (1 mg per day), topical 2% @entity5491 solution and topical 2% @entity3102 shampoo alone and in combination. They were randomized into four groups. Group I (30 @entity1 ) was administered oral @entity585 , Group II (36 @entity1 ) was given a combination of @entity585 and topical @entity5491 , Group III (24 @entity1 ) applied @entity5491 alone and Group IV (10 @entity1 ) was administered @entity585 with topical @entity3102 . Treatment efficacy was assessed on the basis of @entity1 and physician assessment scores and global photographic review during the study period of one year. At the end of one year, hair growth was observed in all the groups with best results recorded with a combination of @entity585 and @entity5491 (Group II) followed by groups IV, I and III. Subjects receiving @entity585 alone or in combination with @entity5491 or @entity3102 showed statistically significant improvement (p<0.05) over @entity5491 only recipients. No signifcant side-effects related to the drugs were observed. In conclusion, it is inferred that the therapeutic efficacy is enhanced by combining the two drugs acting on different aetiological aspects of @entity1665 .
