Exercise in Burn Survivors: Cooling Modalities
NCT04512976 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This project will identify the efficacy of cooling modalities aimed to attenuate excessive elevations in skin and internal body temperatures during physical activity in well-healed burn survivors. The investigators will conduct a randomized crossover design study. Non-burned control subjects, subjects who experienced burns covering \~20% to 40% of their body surface area, and subject having burns \>40% of their body surface area will be investigated. Subjects will exercise in heated environmental conditions while receiving the following cooling modalities: no cooling, fan only, skin wetting only, and a combination of fan and skin wetting.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04512976
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04512976 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 70 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, which has 742 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 Burn Injury appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Control (no cooling modalities) 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: NCT04512976 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. 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.
