Use of MIG3? Bioceramic Mattress Liner to Patients with Post-Poliomyelitis Syndrome (PPS) and Cold Intolerance.

摘要

Poliovirus type I was the first human viruses with three dimensional structure determined by X-ray crystallography method. Polioviruses have a ~ 30 nm diameter with a strong resistance to acid environment (lower than 3.0 pH). Post-Poliomyelitis Syndrome (PPS) occurs in a considerable percentage of recovered patients from paralytic poliomyelitis disease. The main Motor Neuron Disease /PPS symptoms are new-onset weakness, new-onset atrophy, fatigue, cold intolerance, pain and sleep disturbances. The pathogenesis cause of PPS is not understood yet, but one accepted hypothesis is the infected motor neurons degenerate and die. In such situation, the most widely adopted treatment to relief the discomfort in PPS patients is to employ empirical therapies. The purpose of the present study is to assess the influence of a mattress liner impregnated with MIG3? Far Infrared Ceramic Powder to the pain and intolerance to cold symptoms in PPS patients.
