Testing a cooling device for healthy volunteers
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You are in overall good health, with no heart, lung, or metabolic conditions.
- You have no nasal problems (like a deviated septum or frequent nosebleeds).
- You have not taken fever-reducing medication in the past 24 hours.
- You are willing to undergo MRI scans (for safety checks).

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 study tests how a non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique affects the brain in healthy volunteers. It involves MRI scans and aims to understand brain function without surgery.
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 brain through the nose right after a cardiac arrest improves survival. Paramedics will start a cooling treatment within 20 minutes of arriving, and it may help protect your brain while you are unconscious.
This research tests a new, non-invasive method to stimulate deep brain areas using electrical fields applied to the scalp. The study aims to understand how safe and effective this approach is in healthy adults, which could eventually help treat neurological or psychiatric conditions.
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation. Researchers want to understand how to make it work better and safer in humans.
