Cool cap could save hair during breast cancer chemo
NCT ID NCT05508984
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special cooling cap, called the Amma system, can help women with early-stage breast cancer keep more of their hair during chemotherapy. Fifteen women will use the cap during each chemo session and answer questions about how satisfied they are. The goal is to see if the cap is practical and helpful enough to offer in more cancer clinics.

Active substance
Amma Cooling Caps (a scalp cooling device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a practical way for breast cancer patients to keep more of their hair during chemotherapy, improving their comfort and self-image.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 15 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The device might not work well for all hair types or chemotherapy regimens.
