Case Study #1 | Case Study #2 | Case Study #3

S.P., a 30 year old caucasian male doctor, telephoned the clinic and put his name forward as he wished to be considered for a future clinical trial. He had heard about ElectroTrichoGenesis treatment while talking to a friend who was taking treatments and experiencing success. Prior to acceptance to the clinical trial, the subject was required to visit the clinic. A registered nurse took his medical history and established hair loss type to ensure that it fell within the criteria set for the trial.

He visited the clinic for the first time a short while later whereupon a medical history was taken and it was noted that this subject was healthy and not under a doctor's care. His past medical history was unremarkable. His height and weight were taken and recorded, as well as noting that he was not taking any prescription or non-prescription drugs. He had tried Rogaine? four years prior using the drug for a year period but discontinued use due to an absence of results.

On examination, his scalp appeared healthy if a little dry, and his hair color was clarified as brown. On enquiry, the client stated that his hair loss had been gradual over the last thirteen years and initially he noticed the loss occurring in the temporal area and latterly from the vertex. His hair loss pattern, using the Hamilton Scale, was recorded as III Vertex. His family history indicated that his father suffers from hair loss.

The client was then given some information and requirements pertaining to the trial. He was informed that hair care requirements consisted of daily shampooing of the hair using a mild shampoo and to use no mousses, hair sprays on the days that hair counts would be done, the first one being on his next visit. The treatment schedule was then explained to the client and it was impressed upon him that a regular weekly attendance was mandatory except for weeks 1 & 2 and 17 & 18 when two treatments per week were required. During the 33-week cycle an absence of only four treatments was permissible otherwise the client would be dropped from the clinical trial.

The client was instructed to return to the clinic two weeks later to be enrolled in the clinical trial once a review of the above information established that he satisfied the requirements for the trial. A case record form was prepared for the client establishing his treatment schedule and in which all details of his attendance would be recorded as well as vital signs and hair counts. On week one of the treatment schedule, prior to giving treatment, vital signs were taken and recorded and it was established that his health had remained good and that no new medications were being taken. A consent form was signed and then a hair count was taken using a cap with a pre-punched 1-inch circle and the first hair count was recorded as 265 hairs. To define this area on future occasions, measurements were taken and recorded using the distance between both ears and the edge of
the cap and the nose and edge of the cap.

The 12-minute treatment was given to the client and once the treatment was over a tentative day was established for the following treatment. He was reminded that at treatment days of weeks 8, 16, 24 and 33 quantification by way of hair counts would be taken as well as the vital signs and health history. In addition at week 33 quantification by way of patient evaluation would be part of the process. A constant watch was kept for any adverse effects but this client did not experience any. He did not feel any sensation while taking the treatment.

Throughout the 33-week period, the client's attendance was very regular. At the 33 week evaluation the client commented that although his shedding had remained the same, the overall appearance of his hair had improved by about 12 weeks. His hair had also become thicker. He stated that two friends of his had commented that the bald spot on his crown had become smaller and another friend thought he had a toupee! His final hair count using the cap was 435 hairs, an increase of almost 70%.

The client continued treatments and has now been coming to the clinic for just over a year and he remains very satisfied. The investigators have also noticed significantly increased hair regrowth.
