Summary
This study tests a device called VCool that is placed in the nose to cool the body. Ten healthy adults aged 18 to 55 will try it to see if it safely lowers core body temperature to about 35.5°C and keeps it there for an hour. The goal is to gather early data on how well it works and any side effects like shivering.
