NCT ID NCT04764331
First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This small study tests a red LED cap in 5 women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a scarring hair loss that mainly affects middle-aged Black women. The cap uses light therapy to reduce inflammation and may help ease scalp symptoms, slow hair loss, and possibly regrow hair in areas not yet scarred. The goal is to see if this low-risk device can offer a new option when standard treatments have limited success.
