Direct brain cooling tested to protect injured brains

NCT ID NCT03967626

Summary

This study tested whether cooling the brain directly is more effective than cooling the whole body for protecting brain cells after a severe injury. It involved 41 adult patients in intensive care who had brain monitors and needed cooling for fever. Researchers compared keeping the brain itself at a safe temperature versus controlling the body's overall temperature.
