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 cooling the brain with a special cap can help reduce damage from a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel. It is for people who are already getting standard clot-busting or clot-removal treatment, and the cooling may help protect brain tissue while the treatment works.
This study tests whether keeping the body at a normal temperature (not too warm) after a brain injury helps improve recovery. It may reduce further damage to the brain.
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 a clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) can improve recovery after a stroke. It might help reduce brain damage and improve long-term outcomes.
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 compares two ways of controlling body temperature after a cardiac arrest that happens in the hospital: cooling to 91.4°F (33°C) versus keeping a normal temperature. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better.
