Study Summary
The objective of this study was to clarify whether neck cooling can be used to non-invasively lower brain temperature in healthy adults.
Primary Outcome
During each intervention, core brain temperature was measured non-invasively, in one-minute increments, using MR thermometry. The change in brain temperature was calculated as the difference of differences between the cold and body-temperature interventions, after 1 hour.
