The type of whole-body cryotherapy chamber that can help to ease the symptoms of multiple sclerosis
Study finds just 20 sessions of whole-body cryotherapy can help improve the symptoms of MS
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, January 13, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — A recently published scientific research article1 has highlighted the benefits of the use of whole-body cryotherapy for sufferers of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A disease of the central nervous system, MS is an auto-immune disease, where the immune system, instead of attacking a virus or infection, starts to attach the new cells, in particular the protective layer of fatty protein covering the nervous system cells.Whole Body Cryotherapy involves exposing the body to temperatures as low as -130°C for a period of up to 3 minutes. The therapy is delivered in a specially designed cryogenic chamber where the air is supercooled. Users stand or sit in an adapted chair in the chamber under the guidance of a trained operator. The whole body cryotherapy sessions can be taken at regular intervals over a period of weeks.The conclusions are the study identified that a series of 20 Whole Body Cryotherapy sessions improve the functional state and reduces fatigue in patients with MS, which may be due to adaptive changes in bioelectrical muscle activity.
