Applications: Multiple Sclerosis

Heat impairs people with MS

More than 400,000 people in the U.S. are afflicted with multiple sclerosis. The most common characteristics include fatigue, weakness, balance problems and numbness. Approximately 80% of those with MS have heat-related symptoms. This low heat tolerance affects many MS patients physically and mentally.
