Could a buzzing bee device take the ouch out of hair loss shots?
NCT ID NCT06497764
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study was designed to test whether a vibrating device called Buzzy can reduce pain during platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for hair loss. Researchers planned to treat half of each participant's scalp with the vibration and the other half without, then compare pain scores. The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Vibrational Anesthesia (VA) Device (Buzzy bee-striped personal)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce pain during PRP scalp treatments for hair loss.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study that was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available. The device may not meaningfully reduce pain in practice.
