Abstract

The use of hypothermia as a medical therapy has been used and tested for centuries. In the modern era, its use in neurological diseases has attained significant interest and potential benefit has been found in a number of areas, particularly cerebral ischemia. In the setting of global cerebral ischemia, clinical benefit has been observed and so it seems that this may be the case in focal cerebral ischemia as well. This chapter reveals the current state of the evidence.
