NCT ID NCT02991690

Summary

This study is testing whether gently cooling the body after a serious neck spinal cord injury can help patients regain movement and function. Researchers are enrolling 120 adults who recently suffered this type of injury across multiple hospitals. The cooling treatment must begin within 24 hours of injury and aims to protect the spinal cord from further damage during the critical early period.
