Is Your Teen Struggling with Alopecia Areata?
Discover a New Path to Wellness Through Clinical Trials
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss, primarily on the scalp. In children and adolescents, the onset of alopecia areata is often sudden, unlike most adult hair loss conditions. The visible nature of hair loss can significantly affect self-esteem, trigger social anxiety, and contribute to emotional distress.
While the exact cause of adolescent alopecia areata remains unknown, research suggests a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental triggers may play a role. Episodes can vary in duration and severity; some individuals experience spontaneous regrowth, while others face recurring cycles of loss. The unpredictability of the condition often leaves adolescents and their families feeling frustrated and searching for answers.
If your teen is suffering from alopecia areata, Revival Research Institute is conducting Alopecia Areata Clinical Trials, exploring potential new treatment options.

About Adolescent Alopecia Areata Clinical Trials
Watching your child struggle with sudden hair loss can be heartbreaking. Alopecia areata doesn’t just affect appearance, it impacts confidence, self-image, and emotional well-being, especially during the critical adolescent year. Simple things like going to school, playing sports, or spending time with friends can become sources of anxiety or isolation.
At Revival Research Institute, we are conducting a clinical trial designed for teens living with alopecia areata. This research study is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of an investigational treatment that may help manage symptoms and potentially support hair growth.
The clinical trial is available at several locations across the U.S., including Georgia and Michigan. To participate, teens will need to complete a screening process to determine eligibility and be willing to follow all study-related procedures.
*All study-related care, including physical exams, lab work, and investigational treatment, is provided at no cost. Insurance is not required, and eligible participants may receive compensation for time and travel.
*If you’re interested in learning more, fill out the form above. A member of our research team will reach out to guide you through the next steps and discuss your teen’s health history to see if they may qualify.
Get Started: What to Expect?
If your teen is living with alopecia areata, you may qualify for a paid clinical trial exploring new treatment options. After completing the interest form above, a member of our research team will reach out for a brief pre-screening call. During this call, we’ll ask a few questions to see if your teen meets the initial eligibility criteria.
If they qualify, you’ll be asked to review and sign an Informed Consent Form (ICF). This form explains the purpose of the study, what participation involves, and any potential risks or benefits. Once we have your consent, we’ll invite you and your child to visit one of our clinical research sites for a full screening appointment.
During this visit, our team will gather your child’s medical history, conduct a physical exam, and perform lab tests to determine final eligibility. If all criteria are met, your teen may be eligible to participate in the Alopecia Areata Clinical Trial.
Our experienced team is here to walk you through every step, answer all your questions, and ensure that you and your child feel comfortable and well-informed. Your participation plays a vital role in advancing research and future care for alopecia areata.

More Than Hair Loss: Understanding Alopecia Areata in Kids & Teens
Alopecia areata is an unpredictable disorder that can affect the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and other areas of the body. While it typically doesn’t cause physical pain, the visible nature of hair loss can be emotionally and psychologically distressing, especially for teens navigating self-image and social pressures.
For adolescents, alopecia areata isn’t just about appearance, it’s a health condition that can significantly impact self-esteem, confidence, and daily life. It may begin suddenly with small bald patches or progress to more extensive hair loss, sometimes affecting the entire scalp or body. Young people with alopecia often face bullying, social withdrawal, and anxiety, making early support and intervention crucial.
