Early cooling for hospitalized heat stroke patients
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special in-hospital cooling plan can help people with heat stroke recover better. It's designed for patients who arrive at the emergency room with a high fever and need immediate care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with heat stroke by a doctor
- Brought to the emergency department directly (not transferred from another hospital)
- Body temperature at 39.5°C (103.1°F) or higher when admitted
- Will stay in the hospital at least 4 hours so doctors can track progress
- No need for immediate CPR or life support for other serious injuries
- No other severe conditions like a major brain bleed or major injury

This trial tests whether a non-cooling blanket can manage body temperature in people with heat stroke, and compares it to standard cooling methods. It may help find a simpler, less intensive way to control dangerous overheating.
This study aims to create a system that can warn about heat stroke early and predict how patients will recover. It may help doctors better treat people with heat stroke and improve outcomes.
This study looks at how well the body controls temperature during exercise after a past heat-stroke episode, in a military setting. It may help improve safety and recovery plans for people who have had exercise-related heat stroke.
This study tests a new cooling method for people who exercise in heat and might be at risk for heat stroke. If you join, researchers will see how quickly this method lowers your body temperature and helps your body recover.
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.
This study tests how well emergency room protocols work for treating high body temperature. It is for healthy people who are not taking certain medications or supplements that affect how the body handles heat.
