Study Summary

This trial will examine if a cap w/LED light can stop hair loss & regrow hair in people w/Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia. Participants will use the cap once daily for 10 mins.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for women aged 18-65 with a biopsy-proven diagnosis of Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) stages II-IV. Participants must have been on stable treatment, such as doxycycline or minoxidil, without changes for at least 3 months. Men and those with other forms of hair loss are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects are not explicitly mentioned but may include scalp irritation due to light exposure from the LED cap. Since this is a non-invasive treatment, severe side effects are unlikely.
