Does anyone have any information on the use of Cold Caps during chemo to reduce the chance of hair loss?

My wife is battling IBC and will begin treatments with Taxol next week. She had 4 rounds of A/C followed by hercepting/navalbane, but her LVEF went to low to continue the herceptin.

She lost all her hair while on the A/C, but it returned, now she's really bummed out about the possibility of losing it again on Taxol.

I stumbled upon some information on the use of Cold Caps, but not sure if the information is reliable.

Thanks
John
