Chilling hope: can a cold cap save hair for women battling advanced breast cancer?
NCT ID NCT04986579
Summary
This study is testing whether a scalp cooling device can help prevent hair loss in people receiving chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer. About 120 participants will be assigned to either use the cooling cap during their treatment or not, and researchers will compare hair loss rates between the two groups. The goal is to see if this device can improve quality of life by reducing a distressing side effect of cancer treatment.
