Effect of Bioceramic Derived Irradiation in Patients Suffering From Ataxia

Abstract

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of irradiation using an apparel with Far-Infrared Radiation (FIR) properties for the management of dizziness and unsteadiness. Participants: The study comprised 20 patients with dizziness and unsteadiness. Intervention: Cranio-Corpo-Graphy (CCG) was performed before and after wearing a bioceramic garment. Results: Significant reduction of longitudinal and lateral movements was noted. Conclusion: Subjects exhibiting dizziness and unsteadiness benefited significantly when wearing a garment with FIR properties. It is tempting to speculate that the bioceramic membrane exerts its effect via the parasympathetic branch. However, an impact on multiple cerebello-cerebral loops, via modulation of the excitability of residual cerebellar circuits could be discussed as a mechanism of action. The exact mechanism has yet to be determined.
