How many stem-cell trials for Hair Loss & Restoration are recruiting right now?
5 of 17 registered studies were open to enrolment in the 2026-08-29 snapshot — 29% of everything ever registered for this condition with a stem-cell intervention.
Who these studies will actually take
Studies specify pattern and stage on standardised scales, exclude other alopecia types and often require a washout from minoxidil or finasteride. That washout alone deters most people already on treatment.

What recruiting does and does not mean
The status field tracks paperwork, not promise. What matters underneath it is the eligibility list, the outcome measures the sponsor committed to, and whether a site near you is actually enrolling, all of which sit on the registry record itself.
Sites sit in 6 countries, led by United States. Travelling for a trial rarely works unless the site has confirmed in writing that it can enrol non-residents and fund the follow-up schedule.

Frequently asked
How many stem-cell trials for Hair Loss & Restoration are recruiting right now?
5 of 17 registered records (2026-08-29).
Can I join one of these trials?
Possibly, if the criteria fit and a site can take you. Nobody can promise a place on your behalf, and any intermediary charging a fee to arrange one is not part of the trial.
Do trials charge participants?
Participants are not usually billed for the study product. A five-figure invoice attached to a supposed trial place means you are buying a treatment, not joining research.
