It covers research and clinical studies and trials on hyperthermia and other thermal therapies (e.g. thermal ablation, cryo therapies) which fall largely into the three main categories of clinical studies, biological studies, and physics/engineering studies on techniques of heat delivery and temperature measurement.

Targeted temperature management (TTM), previously known as therapeutic hypothermia or protective hypothermia, is an active treatment that tries to achieve and maintain a specific body temperature in a person for a specific duration of time in an effort to improve health outcomes during recovery after a period of stopped blood flow to the brain.

This is a list of notable academic journals about nursing.. AACN Advanced Critical Care; AACN Nursing Scan in Critical Care; Advances in Neonatal Care; American Journal of Critical Care
Medical journals are published regularly to communicate new research to clinicians, medical scientists, and other healthcare workers. This article lists academic journals that focus on the practice of medicine or any medical specialty. Journals are listed alphabetically by journal name, and also grouped by the subfield of medicine they focus on.
Hyperthermia therapy (or hyperthermia, or thermotherapy) is a type of medical treatment in which body tissue is exposed to temperatures above body temperature, in the region of 40–45 °C (104–113 °F). Hyperthermia is usually applied as an adjuvant to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, to which it works as a sensitizer, in an effort to treat cancer.
A research study was published in March 2019 that looked into multiple case reports of drug induced hyperthermia. The study concluded that psychotropic drugs such as anti-psychotics, antidepressants, and anxiolytics were associated with an increased heat-related mortality as opposed to the other drugs researched (anticholinergics, diuretics ...
Heat stroke, malignant hyperthermia, serotonin syndrome, lethal catatonia [2] Treatment: Stopping the offending medication, rapid cooling, starting other medications [2] Medication: Dantrolene, bromocriptine, diazepam [2] Prognosis: 10–15% risk of death [4] Frequency: 15 per 100,000 per year (on neuroleptics) [1]
Heat therapy, also called thermotherapy, is the use of heat in therapy, such as for pain relief and health. It can take the form of a hot cloth, hot water bottle, ultrasound, heating pad, hydrocollator packs, whirlpool baths, cordless FIR heat therapy wraps, and others.
