Effect of a Novel Cooling Device on Brain Temperature
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cold circulated water and Body-temperature circulated water for Healthy. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of this study was to clarify whether neck cooling can be used to non-invasively lower brain temperature in healthy adults.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Cold water was circulated through an adhesive wrap applied to the front of the neck, overlying the carotid arteries, for 120 minutes. MR thermometry was used to measure core brain temperature in 1-minute intervals throughout the intervention. On a different day, subjects crossed over and repeated the intervention in the other study arm (i.e., cold went to body-temperature, and vice-versa).
