Concussion study seeking athletes 12-19

AKRON

Akron Children’s Hospital is seeking athletes between 12 and 19, who are generally in good health but who have been recently diagnosed with a concussion, to participate in a clinical trial studying whether cooling the brain after a concussion can speed up recovery time.

The Pro-2-Cool system is a noninvasive hypothermic (cold therapy) device that delivers localized cooling to the head and neck. For information, go to www.akronchildrens.org/pro2cool. or call 330-543-8260.
