CASE STUDY FOR HEAT IMPACT
COOLING CLOTHING MAY INCREASE QUALITY OF LIFE
Higher temperatures may have negative impacts on millions of people. Especially patients still suffering from other diseases like multiple sclerosis. High temperatures reduce their quality of life, especially in summer. The result is extreme exhaustion, loss of performance and health problems.
A study from the Kessler Foundation in the USA shows that patients affected by MS do have significant problems in heat. Victoria M. Leavitt: „Memory and processing speed were measured in 40 individuals with MS and 40 healthy people without MS. The study was conducted throughout the calendar year, and the daily temperature at the time of testing was recorded. The results showed that patients with MS scored 70 percent higher on the tests on cooler days.”
Many people with MS confirm that concentration decreases in high temperatures. Are you one of them? Then, if you need to keep a cool head, you should avoid doing so in high temperatures if possible. Or use E.COOLINE in situations where the heat cannot be avoided.

KESSLER FOUNDATION PROVES
HIGHER BODY TEMPERATURE IN RELAPSING MS
Experience
The Kessler Foundation published an additional study. Even if not exposed to heat, patients with relapsing MS showed on average a higher body temperatures than healthy people. They also showed more fatigue symptoms.
Result
This unique study further demonstrated that the body temperature and fatigue symptoms of these patients cannot be remedied by drugs such as Modafinil. However, they can be by cooling clothing.
Fatigue symptoms reduced
by E.COOLINE
Positiv opinion by percantage of patients
- COOLING EFFECT 100%
- COOLING DURATION 80%
- HANDLING 94%
The E.COOLINE application study showed that the cooling effect of E.COOLINE was rated as good to very good. The comfort of the vests and their easy and quick handling was well rated by more than 80% to over 90% of the persons interviewed although there were also handicapped persons included in the study.
Also 85% of the therapists were convinced by the efficiency of the E.COOLINE cooling vest. More than 70% of the therapists recommend the E.COOLINE cooling vest.
Better performance
Percantage of confirmation
- PERFORMANCE LEVEL 90%
- COMPLETION OF SPORTS PRACTICE 83%
- CONCENTRATION 93%
- FATIGUE 93%
- SYMPTOMS 85%
In the interviews with the patients they were not only asked about the symptoms of exhaustion but also about their levels of performance.

100% less exhaustion
Wearing of E.COOLINE during bodily exercise and high embient temperatures
- I FEEL MORE ENERGETIC 91%
- I AM LESS FATIGUED 100%
The investigation was made wearing E.COOLINE at high ambient temperatures, wearing it during bodily exercise, and during bodily exercise at high ambient temperatures.
In all three cases, more than 80-90 % of the patients agreed that the cooling vests produced improvement, both at only high temperatures and during additional physical work.
The score was particularly high on the parameters “improved performance” and “less fatigue”. This was also the result from the additional comments of the patients.

SIMPLY STAY COOL
BETTER WELL-BEING OF 124%
Prof. Dr. Grieshofer of the Judendorf clinic in Graz carried out a study with 78 MS patients. In 14 therapy units they were cooled with the E.COOLINE cooling vest of 25 min. (20%) or 50 min. After the first and the last therapy unit each patient was questioned and should answer with an analogue scale from 1 (bad) to 10 (very good).
The well-being of the patients averagely increased by 124% from 3.3 scores to 7.4 scores.
BETTER PERFORMANCE WITH E.COOLINE
82% MORE MUSCULAR STRENGTH
In a study carried out by Judendorf clinic of Graz, Austria, headed by Professor Dr. Peter Grieshofer, the E.COOLINE cooling vests were tested during a 4-weeks neurorehabilitation phase of 185 patients. The time patients were cooled with the E.COOLINE cooling vest: once a day 5 times per week for 60 minutes each day.
- IMPROVEMENT OF FATIGUE 76%
- MUSCULAR STRENGTH 82%
- WALKING STABILITY 54%
Since this study, the clinic has used the E.COOLINE cooling vests in neurorehabilitation programs.

BETTER PERFORMANCE
Improved symptoms
The neurological center of Dr. Cramer in Hannover, Germany, performed a pilot study with 10 MS patients (3 female, 7 male) wearing E.COOLINE. The patients were interviewed with and without E.COOLINE cooling therapy and the changes in motor and cognitive abilities were measured with the fatigue scales of 10.
The study was made on the basis of the MSCF test with the following topics:
- T25W (fastest time to walk 25 feet /7.6 m)
- 9-hPT (nine hole peg test)
- PSAT (paced auditory serial addition test) or d2 test
At elevated ambient temperatures cooled with E.COOLINE the patients stated as following:
- Legs less heavy
- Better concentration
- Longer way of walk
- Better memory
- Better motor skills
- More energy and drive
- Less tired
Important notice: The cooling application with E.COOLINE does not replace any medical therapies. It just reduces health problems of MS caused by high temperatures.
