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 study looks at different early body temperature goals in people who have heat stroke and checks how those choices relate to recovery and outcomes. You might join if you’re an adult with heat stroke and can give consent (or a family member can).
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 trial studies how to better recognize worsening heat stroke early and predict outcomes. If you’ve had heat stroke, it may help improve monitoring and treatment planning for future patients.
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 method to rapidly cool the body during heat stroke, which could improve recovery. It involves healthy young adults doing moderate exercise and then receiving the cooling treatment in a controlled setting.
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.
