Background and ObjectiveA scalp cooling system, particularly, a digitised scalp-cooling system, is currently assuming an important role during adjuvant treatment within the oncological setting, promising the prevention of hair loss and turning an efficient procedure to reinforce the mental health of patients during chemotherapy by preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA). We conducted a scoping review to map the literature on the efficacy of the scalp cooling technology in chemotherapy. We focused on the efficacy of the scalp cooling system in preventing CIA and the associated mental health effects, such as reducing mood changes, depression, anxiety, anger, sleep disorders, and fatigue.MethodsWe performed a systematic search of MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Scopus in May 2020. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the characteristics of the included literature. Based on the exclusion/inclusion criteria, a total of 17 articles were included in the scoping review process.ResultsThis review demonstrated the lack of research on the efficacy of adopting the scalp cooling system as preventive care for the well-being of patients through the prevention of their hair loss. Nevertheless, research on this topic is progressively increasing, and future studies should address specific key points.ConclusionThis study aimed to identify emerging and urgent research domains in order to design better clinical outcomes for innovative solutions, integrating the physical and mental health of oncological patients in survivorship.
