Multiple Sclerosis ReliefWhat Multiple Sclerosis Clients Say“ These improvements are immeasurable to someone who has multiple
sclerosis……….I feel very lucky that I was able to
be a part of the research of the EnerMed device.” “Thanks be to God, Todd Richards, yourself and the rest of the
team responsible for me being a recipient of the EnerMed device which,
for the past seven months, has contributed a better quality of life for
me.” Extract from a letter to Director of Device Evaluation, FDA: “As a victim of MS, I went to Vancouver, B.C. in June (to have)
an EnerMed set for my own particular needs. I have had a total
relief from the spasticity……….. Please for
the benefit of the 30 million migraine sufferers and 300,000 M.S. patients
in this country, expedite your approval of this device.” “I was a participant of the EnerMed MS research project…..I
found that I really benefited from your product and would like to purchase
an EnerMed.” “I am extremely thankful for all you have done to make these EnerMed
devices…….I can’t even tell you how grateful I am. When
I compare myself with how I felt before starting this I am totally amazed.” "...Bladder control, less pins and needles in left hand and foot,
fatigue relief.....
"...More energy, physically stronger, more endurance, bladder problems have
ceased...." "Improved balance and cognitive ability"
Brief Summary of EnerMed Multiple Sclerosis ResearchIn 1996 Dr. Todd Richards, a Neurophysicist at the University of Washington conducted a double-blind, placebo controlled study on the effects of the EnerMed Therapy on symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.(1) This study was supported by a grant from The United States National Institutes of Health, Neurologic and Stroke Division. 30 clinically diagnosed MS patients were enrolled. 15 subjects were randomly assigned to both the active therapy group and to the control group. The MS Performance Scale (MSPS)(2) is a summed composite of disability in eight areas: fatigue, cognitive function, mobility, spasticity, hand function, bladder control, sensory symptoms and vision. The MSPS was the primary outcome measure in this study. The treatment period was two months. At the completion of the study, subjects from the active treatment group showed statistically significant improvements in their MSPS. The positive results of the above study prompted the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America to fund a multi-site, double-blind placebo controlled, crossover study. Research sites were in Virginia, New Jersey and Washington State. Primary outcome measures relating to fatigue, bladder control, spasticity and pain were taken from the MS Quality of Life Inventory (MSQLI) (4) Secondary outcome measures utilized the MSPS and a daily diary rating of spasticity and bladder control. Subjects received four weeks of active therapy and four weeks of sham therapy separated by a two-week wash out period. 117 subjects completed both stages of the study. Results were assessed using paired t-tests after subtracting baseline scores from active and placebo treatment scores. Two of the four MSQLI scores (fatigue and spasticity) showed significant improvement. A Quality of Life composite from the MSQLI (fatigue, spasms and pain) also showed significant treatment benefits.(5) 134 MS patients replied to a survey conducted by Energy Medicine Developments. We asked responders to rate the effectiveness of the EnerMed Therapy on their symptoms. 78% of responders said the EnerMed gave them positive results. 45% rated the therapy as “very effective” while 22% reported no benefits.
