Military Alerting System for Monitoring Body Temperature During Active Cooling
NCT04431596 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
BHSAI is developing a computational system that provides early alerts of a rise in core body temperature to help reduce the risk of heat injury in the field and during training. The goal of the body temperature alerting system is to use it during rest, exercise in the heat and during body cooling. Using this system during cooling will allow healthcare professionals and military personnel monitor core temperature to ensure cooling is effective (and prevent hypothermia). Therefore, the primary purpose of this investigation is to validate a body temperature alerting system using physiological responses that occur during rest, exercise in the heat and during body cooling. Multiple cooling modalities will be validated. The effectiveness of each cooling modality (passive cooling, mist-fan cooling, hand/forearm immersion) on physiological variables after exercise in the heat will be assessed. Lastly, subject characteristics (demographic and anthropometric characteristics) will be examined to examine their effect on physiological variables during exercise in the heat and during body cooling with each cooling modality.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04431596
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04431596 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 12 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Connecticut, which has 43 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Hyperthermia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Forearm cooling is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04431596 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Connecticut. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
