RESEARCHERS in Scotland are carrying out early clinical trials on a potentially life-saving device for stroke patients.
The device, designed to cool blood before it reaches the brain in stroke patients, is being tested on volunteers at the University of Edinburgh.
Those behind Brain Cool say it works by cooling a patient's neck and therefore blood flow to the brain, a critical intervention for patients suffering from stroke.
