NCT ID NCT05923931
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a cooling blanket helps people with heat stroke cool down faster than standard methods like ice packs and cool fluids. About 126 adults with heat stroke will be randomly assigned to receive either the cooling blanket or usual care. The goal is to see if the blanket speeds up temperature drop and reduces organ damage.

cooling blanket
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, effective way to cool heat stroke patients faster and reduce complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (126 participants) comparing two cooling methods, so results may not be definitive or widely applicable. The cooling blanket may not significantly improve outcomes over standard care.
