Summary

This study tested whether wearing special cooling caps during high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant could prevent severe hair loss in people with multiple myeloma. 31 participants used Penguin cold caps, and researchers measured how much hair they kept. The goal was to see if the benefit of keeping hair outweighs the discomfort of wearing the cold cap.
