A device for the prevention or treatment of a variety of disorders by means of automated local control of temperature and pressure in a body cavity. Appropriate body cavities are enclosed spaces containing organs in which biocompatible fluids excluding blood may be recirculated outside of blood vessels but inside the cavity (eg. subarachnoid space, peritoneum, mediastinum, pleural space). Fluid is pumped into the cavity by means of one pump and removed from it by means a second pump via a double-barreled catheter, with an optional secondary catheter for enhancement of the fluid distribution. A temperature and pressure sensor are mounted on the main catheter within the cavity. While outside the body, the fluid is ultraviolet- sterilized, foam fractionated to remove contaminants, oxygenated and pH balanced, cooled or warmed, and augmented with exogenous fluid that may contain drugs. Independent automated pump control allows adjustment of outflow based on cavity temperature and inflow based on cavity pressure. Pre-programmed temperature and pressure profiles can be executed over several days.
