Description

  The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a custom-made medical wig that improves the QOL of a child patient against head hair loss due to treatment or the like.

A medical wig is a dedicated wig used for treatment of diseases, unlike a general wig (wig), and requires functions and quality according to the condition of the patient during and before and after the treatment. .
Here, it is known that the wig has a full wig and a partial wig, but in the following, a full wig for the whole head is assumed.

Medical wigs, for example, as a countermeasure against epilation of the head by performing chemotherapy (anticancer drug treatment) or radiation therapy for malignant tumors, the hair is the original length after treatment, as well as during the treatment period. It is used in the period until returning to
In general, hair loss of the head starts several weeks after the start of treatment, hair growth / regeneration starts several months after the treatment ends, and the own hair often recovers in about 3 to 12 months. .

Even in the case of chemotherapy and radiation therapy for pediatric patients, hair loss of the head occurs like adults.
The treatment of malignant tumors is often extremely harsh and long-lasting, and for human beings living in modern society, the desire for beauty and fashion is an essential element in living.
Therefore, for children (including both girls and boys) who begin to be interested in their own beauty and fashion, especially during adolescence and before and after that, losing hair that plays an important role in the expression of beauty and fashion Living with praise for beauty and fashion, and the loss of hair is directly linked to a significant decrease in patient QOL.

  If you can easily use your favorite medical wig as an alternative to hair, it will help improve the quality of life of pediatric patients, but the number of medical wigs sold is small, expensive and limited in variety. . Since doctors and physicists did not participate in the medical wig development team, there are few medical wigs that fully satisfy the needs of pediatric patients, and the standard hair listed in the catalog as a medical wig option There are many medical institutions that only have ready-made styles. In addition, if the weight, stuffiness, and tightening comfort are not as good as possible, the wearing of medical wigs may be avoided by pediatric patients and they may be covered with hats.

  Also, medical wigs are products that have different impressions when they are worn on the head, and actually check what medical wigs meet the desired conditions (trying on and matching colors). If you purchase without it, it may be different from the intended medical wig. For this reason, custom-made wigs that can be finished in a hairstyle that does not feel uncomfortable and the desired amount of hair are known.

  Conventional methods for manufacturing custom-made wigs generally include measuring / manufacturing instructions, production (manufacturing), finishing, and delivery. In the process of measuring / manufacturing instructions, the wig user goes to a specialty store or a handling salon, and the size of each part of the head is measured by a specialist hairdresser / beauty salon or a professional counselor to produce the wig. Necessary manufacturing instructions are given. Then, according to the manufacturing instructions at a manufacturing factory or the like, about 10% of the wig base and about 80% of the hairstyle are manufactured. Finally, the wig user goes to a specialty store or a hairdressing salon, puts the wig on the actual head, and a part of the wig is cut and the remaining 20% is prepared and finished to 100%, or the wig is finished Adjustments are made on a dedicated workbench (mannequin) while listening to hopes, and delivered after completion. The hairdresser / beautician cuts the remaining 20%, so the cut time is usually within 30 minutes.

If the patient's treatment policy is decided, the production of custom-made wigs for medical use can be tried on and adjusted while comparing their own hairstyles with custom-made medical wigs if you want a medical wig with the same hairstyle as before treatment. Preparations are started at the timing prior to the start of pre-hair removal treatment. In addition, after hair removal, a desired hairstyle may be confirmed by a photograph or the like that shows the current hairstyle.
In the case of custom-made wigs for medical use, usually when a patient comes to a specialty store or a hairdressing / beauty salon, or is hospitalized, the hairdressing / hairdresser obtains permission from the medical institution. A visit to the institution is required.

  Here, as a related technique, it has a hat having an inner surface arranged adjacent to the scalp and an outer surface to which a plurality of hairs are bonded, and at least a part of the hat is made of weft and warp When the user wears a wig (medical wig), the cloth has a first surface and a second surface composed of a convex pile including a loop formed of a synthetic filament material. The cloth is adhered to the inner surface of the hat so that the second surface made of a convex pile including a loop formed of a synthetic filament material is adjacent to the scalp, and the wig user is more comfortable to wear. There has been proposed a technique for providing a medical wig that provides the above (see Patent Document 1).

JP-A-8-60421

The technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 only realizes a medical wig that gives a comfortable wearing feeling to the scalp of the user of the medical wig, and QOL of a pediatric patient against head hair loss due to treatment or the like. However, it does not disclose a method for manufacturing a custom-made wig for medical use according to the characteristics and sensitivity of children.
Further, according to the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, according to the conventional method for manufacturing a custom-made wig described above, it takes about 35 to 60 days from ordering to finishing. It has been changed to about 80% of the finished product, so it cannot be adjusted even if it differs from the desired hairstyle, and it can be worn by pediatric patients who have lost their physical condition due to excessive production days. It does not solve the problem of disappearing.
The present invention is a high level that can be achieved through trial and error, bringing together the specialized technical capabilities unique to a physical and beauty salon in the clinical field with the cooperation of medical institutions, and boasts the reality and perfection as a production method It is.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a custom-made medical wig for shortening the manufacturing period and improving the QOL of a pediatric patient against head hair loss due to treatment or the like.

The method for manufacturing a custom-made wig for medical use according to the present invention is to bind human hair or artificial hair of a predetermined color to a plurality of wig bases of different sizes, the hair style is long hair, and the amount of hair is for adults Preparing and preparing in advance a plurality of different size wigs in an amount of 20% to 30% more than a child's wig in which the amount of hair is 20% to 30% less than the wig;
Measure the head of a wig user who is a pediatric patient, and based on the measurement result, select one wig from the wigs of different sizes prepared in advance,
A step in which a hairdresser / beauty salon visits a medical institution, or the wig user visits a hairdressing / beauty salon and wears the selected one wig on the head of the wig user;
The selected wig is cut in a state of being mounted on the head of the wig user, and the wig user's desired hair length dimension and before the head is removed by treatment or the like. Also has a process of completing with a voluminous hairstyle.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, a manufacturing period can be shortened and the manufacturing method of the medical custom-made wig for improving the QOL of the child patient with respect to hair loss of the head by treatment etc. can be provided.

It is a flowchart which shows the flow of the manufacturing method of the medical custom-made wig in embodiment of this invention. It is a figure explaining the manufacturing method of the medical custom-made wig in embodiment of this invention.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 1, the flow of the manufacturing method of the custom-made medical wig in this embodiment is demonstrated. Here, the patient is a child and is used for the period until the hair returns to its original length as a countermeasure against hair loss on the head by performing chemotherapy (anticancer drug treatment) or radiation therapy for malignant tumors. Assumes a custom-made wig.
A custom-made wig for medical use is a full wig for all heads, a wig base that is attached to the head of a child patient who is a user, and human hair or artificial hair that is bound (hair planted) to the wig base. Hair group.

First, the hairstyle is long hair (hairstyle having a hair length of 35 cm or more, for example), and the amount of hair is 20% to 30% less than the adult wig. The wig base is 15% larger than the wig for (children), and there are 15 wig bases so that there is no sense of incongruity when wearing from small sizes to adult sizes for high school students, depending on the child's growth stage. Manufacturing instructions for medical custom-made wigs that are classified and are classified into four types of black and other colors with natural hair color are created (step S1). That is, a total of 60 patterns of 15 sizes × 4 types of hair colors are created in the manufacturing instruction.
In the completed state of custom made wigs for medical use, there are many hairstyles on the shoulders for girls, and there are many short hairstyles for boys. Long hair is used to ensure room. The long hair may be given a natural light curl.
In addition, in the completed state of the medical custom-made wig in the present embodiment, in order to make the hair style more voluminous than before hair removal of the head due to treatment etc., there is a margin for squeezing at the time of cutting and reducing the amount of hair. In order to ensure, the amount of hair is 20% to 30% higher than that of a normal child wig. It should be noted that the weight of normal child wig hair is equivalent to 100% to 90% of the average amount of child's hair (self hair). Considering the thinness, etc., it is prepared as an amount about 20% to 30% smaller than the adult wig.
In addition, there are 15 sizes, which were previously S, M, L, etc., and it is suitable for most pediatric patients by preparing a total of 60 patterns of 15 types x 4 types of hair colors. A wig with improved wearing feeling can be prepared.

Next, according to the above manufacturing instructions and the like at the manufacturing plant, the wig base is limited to 15 types of sizes using a variety of known wig manufacturing techniques. 60 patterns of custom-made medical wigs (hereinafter referred to as “30% finished medical wigs”) that have been finished to a level of about 30% are prepared and prepared (step S2). For example, a 30% finished medical wig is made by binding or bonding human hair or artificial hair to a wig base made of a material that does not cause a sense of incongruity on sensitive skin that is made of hair, such as the net or artificial skin. To manufacture.
The pre-fabricated 60 pattern 30% finished medical wig has 20% to 30% less than the child wig whose hair style is long hair and the amount of hair is 20% to 30% less than the adult wig. The amount is 30% higher (see also FIG. 2 (a)).
Thus, by preparing 60 patterns of 30% finished medical wigs in advance, the delivery time can be shortened. For example, even when hair removal starts due to the influence of medication, etc. It is possible to deliver with a short delivery time of about 10 days at the shortest.

Next, a professional counselor, a physicist, a beautician, etc. measure the patient's head using a dedicated size cap or the like (step S3). This step is carried out when a specialized counselor or a hairdresser visits a medical institution, or a pediatric patient (wig user) visits a specialty store or a handling salon. In many cases, pediatric patients do not want to go out, and it is preferable to be able to visit a medical institution after obtaining permission from the medical institution.
In addition, specialized counselors, hairdressers and beauticians check the color of the child's favorite color from the four types of hair color.
In addition, when it is the timing before the hair removal before the treatment starts, for example, the length of the frontal head, the top of the pediatric patient, the length of the left and right temporal and back of the hair, the amount of hair, the color of the hair, Measuring, measuring or observing hair gloss, hair thickness, hair curl and hair style (including volume).

  Next, from the 30% finished medical wig of 60 patterns prepared in advance by the manufacturing factory, or a professional counselor or a hairdresser / beautician based on the measurement result of the head of the child patient and the color of the favorite hair One 30% finished medical wig with a suitable size and hair color is selected (step S4).

Next, while the patient is actually wearing the selected 30% finished medical wig directly on the head, a 30% finished medical wig is cut, curled, etc. If necessary, the hair is squeezed and trimmed, and the desired hair length of the patient, and a hair style with a sense of volume than before the head is removed by treatment or the like (preferably 10% to 25%) The hair style is also finished up to 100%, and the medical custom-made wig is completed (step S5). At this time, in order to make the pediatric patient feel the original hair condition, the hair is actually worn directly on the head and cut while listening to the hair style request from the long hair condition. In addition, the patient's QOL is improved because the finishing is carefully performed over the same 1 to 2 hours as a normal cut in a hairdressing / beauty salon.
The hairstyle (including volume) may be used with reference to various information such as the above-mentioned hair length measured, measured or observed before hair removal before treatment, or until now (before hair removal). ) Hair styles (including volume). You can finish it with reference to multiple past photos and photo data.
This step is also carried out when a physiologist or hairdresser visits a medical institution, or a patient (a wig user) visits a specialty store or a cosmetology / beauty shop. There are many cases where the patient does not want to go out, and it is preferable that the patient can visit the medical institution after obtaining permission from the medical institution.
The hairdresser and hairdresser make fine adjustments by taking advantage of the experience, expertise, and know-how of cutting for children in regular hairdressing and beauty salons, and incorporating cutting-edge fashion cuts and hairstyles. To complete the custom-made medical wig 10 into a 100% finished mold (see also FIG. 2B).
Girls often have hairstyles that are about the length of their shoulders, and boys often have short hairstyles, but they can be worn with any hairstyle. A custom-made wig with a high degree of perfection is produced.
A hair style with a sense of volume (preferably 10% to 25% increased in volume) than before head hair removal due to treatment, etc. This is because, in the case of an equivalent volume feeling, the child patient often subjectively thinks that the hair style volume feeling is insufficient, although the volume feeling is objectively equivalent. This is thought to be partly due to a change in sensitivity from the mental aspect because it is difficult for children to understand and convince their adults that hair is lost.
Adults are accustomed to having their hair cut, and the cut itself is not touched, but children have a special event to have long hair cut itself, and they feel happy that they have grown up The feelings will be uplifted and fun, and the quality of life will be improved from this point of view.
If the pediatric patient is a boy, the short hairstyle is often completed, so cut the long hair of the 30% finished medical wig to about half the length in advance and actually apply it directly to the head. It may be attached and further cut.

  The following questionnaire was conducted on patients using the custom-made medical wig 10 manufactured by custom-made by the method for producing custom-made medical wigs in this embodiment.

  The subjects of the questionnaire are multiple pediatric patients with outpatient or hospitalized childhood cancer who have undergone chemotherapy and have hair loss. Everyone already had off-the-shelf medical wigs.

From the start of wearing custom made wigs for medical use until the self-made hair is regenerated and the custom made wigs for medical use become unnecessary (average of about 17 months) We asked for a response in a five-point scale for satisfaction compared to wigs.
(1) Comfortable (2) Hardness (3) Hair style (4) Ease of care (5) Good mood when going out (6) Desire to attend school

  We also compared the time to go out wearing medical wigs and conducted a satisfaction survey on haircut experiences.

  As a result of the questionnaire, it has been clarified that the custom-made medical wig in this embodiment has a high degree of satisfaction in all items and improves the QOL of pediatric patients as compared with the ready-made medical wig. The time to go out wearing medical wigs also increased, and the haircut experience was all 5 points. It was also found that this led to a decrease in resistance to school.

  According to the manufacturing method of the custom-made wig for medical use in the present embodiment, the medical use that can truly satisfy the desire for beauty and fashion of pediatric patients that matches each person's size, favorite color and hairstyle. By realizing a custom-made wig, motivation for treatment can be improved. In other words, the treatment of malignant tumors is often very harsh and long-lasting, and for people living in modern society, the desire for beauty and fashion is an indispensable element in living. Especially for pediatric patients who begin to be interested in their own beauty and fashion before and after puberty, losing hair that plays an important role in the expression of beauty and fashion is to live up with their own beauty and fashion. This leads to a decrease in motivation to continue treatment. Children, unlike adults, have few experiences of facing various events, and there are cases in which the mental burden increases. It is possible to solve this situation and increase motivation for treatment.

  In addition, although not illustrated one by one, the present invention may be implemented with various modifications within a range not departing from the gist thereof. For example, the size, number of colors, long hair length, finishing ratio, etc. may be increased or decreased as appropriate.
