Because cold caps are still in clinical trials in the U.S., awareness is minimal, and hospitals do not have them. However, with the approval of the patient’s physician, individuals can rent their own caps from the manufacturers. The Rapunzel Project is trying to facilitate the use of cold caps by helping hospitals purchase the freezers that make cold cap therapy more manageable for more patients.
