Summary

This study tests a device called Pro2Cool that cools the head and neck to see if it can reduce concussion symptoms in teens aged 13-21. Half of the 66 participants will get the real cooling treatment, while the other half will get a sham device that only cools slightly. Researchers will measure symptom changes and any side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Pro2Cool Device (head and neck cooling device)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a simple, drug-free way to reduce concussion symptoms in young athletes.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial (66 people) testing a device, not a drug. The cooling effect may not be strong enough to meaningfully improve symptoms, and the sham group also gets some cooling (19°C), which could blur results.
