A Multi-centre Phase 2b Randomised Controlled Trial Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Paracetamol in Reducing Core Body Temperature After Traumatic Brain Injury
Abstract
This primary aim is to investigate the effect of paracetamol in reducing body temperature in patients who have sustained traumatic brain injury. This study is also investigating the safety of paracetamol in this patient population.
Conditions: Traumatic Brain Injury.
Primary outcome: Core body temperature: bladder temperature probe.
Enrollment: 41 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 41 participants or records.
