This article reviews the potential for low intensity ultrasound as an antidote for the peripheral cytotoxic side effects of taxane drugs in chemotherapy, presenting no new clinical results.

Low-intensity ultrasound may help protect hair follicles from chemotherapy-induced hair loss.

This study reports that brief exposure to low intensity and low frequency ultrasound was able to transiently break cellular microtubules and mitigate hair follicle damage, suggesting a potential method to prevent hair loss during chemotherapy with taxanes like paclitaxel.

In this study, low-intensity ultrasound was investigated as a noninvasive method for promoting hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia using C57BL/6 male mice, revealing that specific frequencies and intensities can safely enhance hair regrowth compared to controls by optimizing mechanical effects without causing unsafe cavitation.

This study provides ex vivo proof-of-principle that low-intensity ultrasound may protect human hair follicles from paclitaxel-induced damage, potentially reducing chemotherapy-related alopecia.
