Cooling treatment for brain hemorrhage patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had your first-ever brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage).
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- Your level of consciousness is very low (Glasgow Coma Scale score of 8 or less) when admitted to the ICU.
- The amount of bleeding in your brain is less than 60 mL, or you have a certain type of bleeding around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage) that has been treated.
- You were able to walk and take care of yourself before this bleed (modified Rankin Scale score 0 or 1).
- A family member or legal representative can sign a consent form for you.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests an intranasal cooling device (a small balloon in the nose that cools the brain) in healthy volunteers. It will see if the device is safe and comfortable, and if it can lower brain temperature.
This trial studies how to improve care for patients who come to the emergency room with a brain bleed not caused by injury. The goal is to find better ways to manage recovery and outcomes.
This trial tests a new monitor that tracks blood flow in patients with severe traumatic brain injury or bleeding in the brain. The device may help doctors better manage care for these critically ill patients.
This trial tests a non-invasive ultrasound device to help clear blood clots from the brain after a spontaneous bleed. It may be an option for people with small to medium-sized bleeds who do not need surgery.
This study tracks patients who have had sudden, severe bleeding in the brain and received minimally invasive surgery (a less-invasive surgical approach) to treat it. Researchers want to understand outcomes and improve treatment for this serious condition.
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.
