Declarations of interest

Our motivation for undertaking this review is to systematically review the effect of modest cooling therapies on outcome after traumatic brain injury to learn from previous experience in this area and understand the evidence available at present. We believe a randomised controlled clinical trial assessing the effect of high dose paracetamol and head fanning on outcomes after traumatic brain injury (and stroke) may be warranted and are seeking to clarify the currently available evidence in advance of proceeding.

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.
