Red light cap for scar-forming hair loss in women
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This pilot study tests an “all LED” red light cap to treat central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a type of scarring hair loss. If you’re a woman with confirmed CCCA at Stage II–III and stable treatment, the study may help see whether red light can improve your hair loss without changing your current plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a woman (18 years or older)
- Have a confirmed CCCA diagnosis based on a skin biopsy, Stage II or III
- Have had stable hair-loss treatment for at least 3 months (no dose/type changes)
- Examples of stable treatments may include doxycycline, topical steroids, minoxidil, and/or injected (intralesional) steroid treatments
- Only join if your hair loss is only CCCA (not another type) and you have not used a light source for alopecia before

This trial tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can help treat a type of hair loss called central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, which commonly affects Black women. PRP is made from your own blood and may help reduce inflammation and promote hair growth.
This study tests an oral medication called deucravacitinib for people with scarring hair loss (frontal fibrosing alopecia or central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia). It aims to see if the drug can reduce inflammation and stop or slow hair loss.
This study tests an oral medication called delgocitinib, which targets certain enzymes linked to inflammation, in people with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) or lichen planopilaris (LPP). It aims to see if the drug is safe and if it changes biomarkers (biological signals) related to these conditions.
This study looks at treatment results for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a type of hair loss that causes scarring and permanent hair loss. It will follow African-American women to see how well treatments work for different levels of severity.
This study tests a combination of a scalp solution and LED light therapy to treat androgenic alopecia (female pattern hair loss). The goal is to see if the two treatments together can help regrow hair and improve scalp health.
This study tests whether using minoxidil (a hair regrowth lotion) alone or with a low-level red-light therapy cap can help breast cancer patients regrow hair after chemotherapy. It aims to find a safe and effective way to improve hair regrowth after treatment.
