Research indicates that the drug upadacitinib, used for treating joint pain, can effectively treat alopecia areata. Two international clinical trials have shown that this drug successfully restores hair growth.

Experts state that this drug suppresses the immune response, proving effective against the condition causing baldness. Positive results have been observed in patients from North America, Europe, and China.
