Summary
This study tested whether wearing a special cooling cap during chemotherapy can prevent hair loss in people with multiple myeloma getting a stem cell transplant. 31 participants used the Penguin cold caps. The goal was to see if at least 75% of people kept more than half their hair. The study also asked patients if the benefit was worth the hassle.
