Research into therapeutic hypothermia following traumatic brain injury has been 
characterised by small trials of poor methodological quality, producing variable results. The 
Cochrane review, published in 2009, now requires updating. The aim of this systematic 
review is to assess the effectiveness of the application of therapeutic hypothermia to reduce 
death and disability when administered to adult patients who have been admitted to hospital 
following traumatic brain injury.
