Summary

This study tests whether giving ozone gas through the rectum can help protect the brain in children who have suffered a brain injury. 120 children aged 1 month to 18 years will either receive up to 80 rectal ozone sessions plus standard rehab, or rehab alone. The main goal is to see if it reduces muscle stiffness and brain inflammation.
