Cooling treatment for acute neck spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether lowering your body temperature soon after a neck spinal cord injury can improve recovery. It is meant for certain types of spinal cord damage and looks at patients who can safely start cooling within 24 hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- Your spinal cord injury is classified as AIS A, B, or C (not D)
- You must be able to be assessed with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 14 or higher
- You can start the cooling treatment within 24 hours of the injury
- Your injury is from a non-penetrating mechanism (for example, not a stab)

This trial tests whether lowering body temperature (targeted temperature management) can help people who have had a stroke within the last 48 hours. It focuses on strokes caused by a blockage in a specific part of the brain's blood supply, and aims to see if cooling can reduce brain damage.
This trial tests whether cooling the head during emergency clot-removal surgery (called thrombectomy) can reduce brain damage from stroke. Head cooling may protect brain tissue while doctors work to restore blood flow.
This trial tests a bladder-based cooling device to see if it can safely control fever in patients with a new brain hemorrhage. It may help prevent further brain injury and improve recovery.
This trial tests if starting body cooling before reaching the hospital can help protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for adults who are unconscious after their heartbeat has been restored by emergency services.
This trial tests if gently cooling the body to 33°C after a cardiac arrest in the hospital improves recovery compared to keeping a normal temperature. It aims to protect the brain and help patients wake up better.
This study compares a new cold and compression device (NICE1) to standard care after spinal surgery to see if it reduces pain and swelling. If you're having spine surgery, this trial tests whether keeping the area cold and compressed helps you recover better.
