Minoxidil for Better Blood Flow in Breast Reconstruction
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether applying minoxidil (a hair growth medication) to breast tissue during surgery can improve blood flow to the reconstructed breast. It is for women who are having both breasts removed to prevent cancer and have reconstruction on the same day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special ‘preconditioning’ treatment called BLOOM43 for women having mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. The goal is to see if it helps with healing or other outcomes during surgery.
This trial studies different ways surgeons can remove the breast and rebuild it, including approaches that keep the nipple-area tissue and reconstruction using the latissimus dorsi flap (a type of tissue flap) with or without an implant. It may help improve which reconstruction method works best for people undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer or high breast-cancer risk.
This trial studies whether a lab-made skin graft (called ADM) used with tissue expanders can improve breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help people who are planning a specific two-step implant reconstruction approach.
This early-phase study tests whether using minoxidil as a lotion (topical) or by mouth (oral) can improve hair loss caused by breast cancer hormone (endocrine) therapy. It may help you keep or regrow hair while continuing your cancer treatment.
This trial tests whether minoxidil (a hair-regrowth medication) alone or combined with red-light therapy can help hair grow back after breast cancer chemotherapy. The goal is to help patients recover from chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
This trial tests whether applying a hair growth solution (minoxidil) with a special electrical device (iontophoresis) works better for male or female pattern hair loss. It may help if you have been diagnosed with androgenic alopecia and are looking for a non-surgical treatment.
