Cooling therapy for traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
- Your level of consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale) was between 5 and 12 before being put on a breathing tube.
- You can be enrolled within 24 hours of the injury.
- You are expected to survive at least 48 hours after the injury.

This study looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
This study is looking at people with traumatic brain injuries to improve how they are treated. If you join, you will get an MRI and other tests within the first two days after your injury, and the researchers will track your recovery over time.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) helps people recover from traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can improve healing for patients starting rehabilitation.
This study compares how well different hospital teams work together to treat people with traumatic brain injury. It aims to find the best care approach to help patients recover.
This study tests two different approaches to managing fluids given to brain injury patients in the ICU—one more restrictive and one more liberal—to see which is safer and more effective. The goal is to find the best balance that protects the brain while supporting overall health.
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.
