An assembly of mains electricity (AC-powered) devices intended to reduce scalp hair loss associated with intravenous chemotherapy treatment by cooling the scalp to cause vasoconstriction and reduction of chemotherapy drug uptake by the follicular cells. It consists of a control unit which pumps a cooling agent to a head-worn cap containing coolant channels and temperature monitoring sensors. An insulating cap (e.g., neoprene) may be worn over the cooling cap to secure it and prevent condensation.
