Could keeping stroke patients cool improve recovery?

NCT ID NCT07096687

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tests whether a device called CB240_Aurora, which monitors and adjusts body temperature, can help people recovering from a severe ischemic stroke. Twenty-two adults who have had a stroke within the last 48 hours will wear the device for 72 hours. Half will receive active temperature control to keep them in a normal range, while the other half will only have their temperature measured. Researchers will check if the device helps maintain normal temperature and improves recovery at 3 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

CB240_Aurora device (targeted temperature management)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple way to protect the brain during stroke recovery by keeping body temperature normal.

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study with only 22 people, so results may not apply widely. The device may not improve outcomes or could be uncomfortable.
