exemption criteria for hair loss studies

[powersam]

Does anyone konw the exemption criteria that was used for the finasteride, dutasteride and/or nizoral studies?

ie/ if you had diabetes you would not be included in the trial, or high cholesterol etc...

Hi powersam,

It would take some research to dig this information up. I may do it, but I wouldn't be able to right away. Is there a particular reason that you are interested in the information (if may ask)?

[powersam]

Well my specific reason is concerning the Nizoral studies, and though I can't remember the percentages, it showed an improvement in hair loss in a good percentage of the participants. However I don't recall anyone at all every saying they had seen good results from using just nizoral. So I'd like to know what conditions meant exemption from the trials, because those conditions (specifically diabetes) might be having a negative effect on your hair loss treatments.

Really it is just for my own personal information, but I would be very interested to find out if they did any kind of glucose response test to participants to weed out insulin resistance etc...

great forum you have here mate.

Usually a HT will disqualify you... never noticed anything about diabetics.

Seems Niz lotion has way more tales of regrowth than the shampoo.

I'll see what I can dig up powersam.
