How can cryotherapy benefit individuals with multiple sclerosis?

Cryotherapy can benefit individuals with multiple sclerosis through various mechanisms, particularly by using cooling vests to improve overall function, reduce tremors, and decrease fatigue. In individuals with multiple sclerosis, a common symptom is heat sensitivity, where elevated body temperature can exacerbate symptoms and cause fatigue. Cooling vests help to lower the body temperature, which can lead to improved physical performance, enhanced motor function, and reduced tremors. This cooling effect can also promote a feeling of refreshment and energy, which is essential for individuals managing the fluctuating symptoms of multiple sclerosis. By improving these aspects, cryotherapy can enhance the quality of life and daily functioning for those living with this condition.
