Funded Activity Summary

Our group discovered that increased pressure on the brain (intracranial pressure – ICP) may be more common and important than has been recognised following stroke, and potentially other brain disorders. We also identified a simple potential therapy, short-duration body cooling, which completely prevents the pressure rise. In this project we will characterise the ICP rise, identify its molecular trigger and determine the best method of body cooling tor use in clinical trials in stroke patients.
