Breathing CO2 may flush brain waste – new study tests idea
NCT ID NCT07357090
First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study explores whether breathing small amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) can safely increase the movement of proteins from the brain into the blood, which may indicate better waste clearance. Researchers will compare 200 adults with and without a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI), giving each person two different CO2 levels on separate visits. The goal is to understand how CO2 affects brain waste removal, not to treat any condition directly.
