These findings suggest that craniocerebral hypothermia offers advantages in terms of rapid cooling initiation, physiological stability, and reduced hospital stay, representing a promising alternative for targeted temperature management in post-cardiac arrest care.

This first in-human study evaluated the safety and tolerability of an intranasal TMD, which delivers thermoelectrically temperature-regulated air via a nasal cannula to affect the core temperature. Five healthy, awake adult volunteers (median age 34 years old, 57.1% men) underwent intranasal cooling with 5°C cooled air delivered at flow rates between 15 and 58 liters per minute. The primary endpoints were safety and tolerability. The reduction in core body temperature was recorded using an esophageal temperature probe.

All participants exhibited a consistent downward trend in core body temperature, with an average reduction of 0.7°C at 30 minutes and 1.2°C at 60 minutes. Notably, no shivering or adverse events related to the intranasal TMD were reported. Cooling was well-tolerated, with esophageal probe placement being the only limiting factor for full protocol completion in some subjects. Participants remained fully conscious and communicative throughout the therapy. This intranasal TMD achieved clinically relevant core cooling without triggering shivering or requiring sedation, thereby addressing the key barriers associated with traditional TMDs. These promising early results support further investigation of this intranasal TMD in patients with acute neurological injury.

In contrast, TH has not been consistently beneficial in clinical trials of stroke and cardiac arrest, perhaps from suboptimal dosing (e.g., delay, depth, and duration), among other factors. This systematic review aimed to find an optimal depth of TH from <i>in vivo</i> adult preclinical studies of global and focal ischemia. To study depth, without other confounds, we examined studies that compared ≥2 depths of TH versus normothermic controls. Our primary outcomes were infarct size (focal ischemia) and hippocampal cell death (global ischemia), while secondary outcomes were behavior, edema, and striatal cell death. Studies were assessed with the SYRCLE Risk of Bias tool (e.g., use of blinding) and additional indices of translational rigor (e.g., use of aged animals). Thirty studies were included from a search of the PubMed database in 2025. Many studies were rated as exhibiting a high risk of bias with low translational rigor. Overall, TH provided considerable protection on all endpoints, sometimes up to 100%, but no consistent dose-response patterns emerged, nor was an optimal depth of cooling readily evident. To explore the latter finding, specifically sampling variability, we conducted Monte Carlo simulations using the pooled standard deviation of the preclinical studies to generate three populations based upon a theoretical 5% protection per 1°C relationship (37°C vs. 32°C vs. 27°C groups run 75 times). Dose-dependent effects were statistically detectable in only 36% of comparisons, which showed comparably noisy patterns of protection. Thus, the variable dose-dependent effects in the reviewed animal studies likely arise, at least partially, from sampling error owing to using small samples from variable populations (average <i>n</i> = 8/group in focal ischemia). Overall, these findings highlight weaknesses in the extant dose-response literature that limit our ability to precisely guide clinical trials.</p>","PeriodicalId":22972,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic hypothermia and temperature management","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145076040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
