First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study is testing whether gently cooling the body (to about 91°F) within 24 hours of a severe neck spinal cord injury can help protect nerves and improve recovery. Researchers will compare nerve function and daily living skills in 120 adults who receive this cooling treatment. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for reducing long-term disability.
