摘要:
This document describes devices for mitigating or eliminating alopecia (hair loss) resulting from chemotherapy treatments and methods for their use. For example, this document describes headband devices that deliver localized pressure to portions of the patient's scalp to cause physical obstructions of scalp arterial circulation to mitigate alopecia. In some embodiments, localized pressure is exerted on frontal arteries, temporal arteries, and/or occipital arteries to reduce the blood flows therethrough.
