Could a Light-Up cap help women with a common scarring hair loss?
NCT ID NCT04764331
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small pilot study tests whether a special red LED cap can improve symptoms and slow hair loss in women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a scarring hair loss that mainly affects middle-aged Black women. Five women with confirmed CCCA will use the cap daily for 10 minutes. The goal is to see if the cap's anti-inflammatory light can reduce scalp discomfort and help non-scarred areas grow thicker hair.
