Study summary

Telogen effluvium (TE) is a common cause of diffuse, non-scarring hair shedding in women. It is often triggered by physiological stress, nutritional deficiencies, illness or hormonal changes. There is growing interest in the role of the gut microbiota in hair health, through its effects on nutrient absorption, immune regulation and systemic inflammation (the so-called gut-skin axis). However, data on gut microbiota in women with TE are still scarce.

This retrospective observational study will review the medical records of premenopausal women diagnosed with TE who received a multifactorial drinkable nutraceutical as part of routine clinical care at 2 clinics between January 2025 and July 2025. The study has two aims:

  1. To describe the gut microbiota profile of these women at baseline [and after 6 months], as assessed by [stool analysis method].
  2. To describe changes in trichoscopic parameters, over 6 months of supplementation [and to explore whether baseline microbiota features are associated with these changes].

The study does not assign any intervention: all data were collected during standard clinical practice. Its findings are intended to generate hypotheses for future controlled studies.

Study population

The study population consists of premenopausal women aged 18-40 years with a clinical and trichoscopic diagnosis of telogen effluvium and gut dysbiosis, attended at Clínica AB Derma and Clíncia Hbn39 of Madrid, Spain between January 2025 and July 2025. Eligible women received a multifactorial drinkable nutraceutical for 6 months as part of routine clinical care, and had gut microbiota analysis [at baseline and at 6 months] and trichoscopic assessment at baseline and at 6 months recorded in their medical records.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Characterization of gut dysbiosis outcomes

    Gus dysbiosis was analyzed with a stool kit test (KyberBioma(R)).

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. Characterization of trichoscopic outcomes

    Trychoscopy outcomes were measured using a phototrichoscope at the interparietal area. 7 trichoscopy signs were graded (0-3) from 2 evaluators: telangiectasias, punctate vessels, erythema, scaling, follicular miniaturization, follicular hyperkeratosis, fibrosis.

    Time frame: 6 months
