CASE STUDIES

The following case studies represent the work of Dr. William Amalu during the period
beginning November 2004 through May 2005. The six studies shown are a sampling of over 30
studies Dr. Amalu has completed. They demonstrate the dramatic and rapid improvement of
inflammation, pain reduction, increased range of motion, restoration of function, and improved
sleep. Some patients have experienced improvement in just one treatment. Ongoing
improvement has been and continues to be seen in patients over weeks and even months.

Case Study #1 – 49 year old female
The thermographic images below show the dramatic improvement in circulation
and significant response to decreased pain after only 4 nights sleeping on the
Electron Transfer Technology sleep system
 The case presented below was taken from a randomized clinical controlled study.
Each subject was provided with an Electron Transfer Technology sleep system (ETT) on
4-11-05 and observed for changes with clinical visits every 48 hours for 5 days. Progress
was monitored with High-Resolution Medical Infrared Imaging and standardized clinical
outcome assessment questionnaires (quadruple visual analogue pain scales and sleep).
 The patient in this study presented on 4-11-05 as a 49 year old female with the
following complaints: chronic neck and upper back pain, pain interfering with sleep, lack
of sleep interfering with daily functioning, leg achiness/restless legs during sleep, and
waking stiff and sore. The patient had previously tried medical and alternative treatments
with poor results.
 On 4-15-05, after 4 nights of sleeping on the ETT system, the patient reported a 67.5%
reduction in pain, a 42.9% reduction in a lack of sleep interfering with daily functioning, a
28.6% reduction in pain interfering with sleep, a 75% reduction in leg achiness/restless legs during sleep, and an 80% reduction in waking stiff and sore. Steady continued improvement was reported by the patient on a 5-31-05 follow-up.
 Her infrared images show a significant change with a pronounced improvement in circulation in the left upper extremity and both lower extremities. The images below show
the significant changes from the baseline images taken on 4-11-05 (before ETT use) to

the final images taken on 4-15-05 after 4 nights of sleeping on the ETT system.

The top row images are of the upper extremities taken as a baseline on 4-11-05 (prior to ETT use). The arrows denote the areas of poor circulation. The temperature of the left hand is so low that the fingers are at the same temperature as the room and cannot be seen (thermal amputation). The bottom row images were taken on 4-15-05 after 4 nights of sleeping on the ETT system. Note the significant improvement in circulation with a return of normal thermal symmetry in both upper extremities.

The above image on the left is of the lower extremities taken as a
baseline on 4-11-05 (prior to ETT use). The arrows denote the areas
of poor circulation. The temperature of both feet are so low,
especially the left, that the toes are at the same temperature as the
room and cannot be seen (thermal amputation). The image on the
right was taken on 4-15-05, after 4 nights of sleeping on the ETT
system. Note the significant improvement in circulation with a return of normal thermal symmetry in both feet.

Case Study #2 – 65 year old female.
The thermographic images below show the dramatic reduction in inflammation that resulted in near complete alleviation from pain after only 4 nights sleeping on the Electron Transfer Technology sleep system.

  The case presented below was taken from a randomized clinical controlled study. Each subject was provided with an Electron Transfer Technology sleep system (ETT) on 4-11-05 and observed for changes with clinical visits every 48 hours for 5 days. Progress was monitored with High-Resolution Medical Infrared Imaging and standardized clinical outcome assessment questionnaires (quadruple visual analogue pain scales and sleep).

 The patient in this study presented on 4-11-05 as a 65 year old female with the following complaints: chronic bilateral thigh pain increased on the right to include the hip area, right knee pain and catching, bilateral ankle and foot pain with swelling increased on the left, insomnia, non-restful sleep, lack of sleep interfering with daily functioning, sleepiness during the day, pain interfering with sleep, leg achiness during sleep, and waking stiff and sore. The patient has been on prolonged medical treatment with poor results.

On 4-15-05, after 4 nights of sleeping on the ETT system, the patient reported a 91.6% reduction in pain, 50% improvement in restful sleep, 50% reduction in insomnia, a 50% reduction in a lack of sleep interfering with daily functioning, 50% reduction in sleepiness during the day, an 81% reduction in pain interfering with sleep, 50% reduction in leg achiness during sleep, and a 50% reduction in waking stiff and sore. The patient reports steady continued improvement as of a 5-31-05 follow-up.

 Her infrared images show a significant change with a pronounced improvement in inflammation in the right upper thigh/hip region and both ankles/feet especially on the left. The images below show the significant changes from the baseline images taken on 4-11-05 (before ETT use) to the final images taken on 4-15-05 after 4 nights of sleeping on the ETT system.

The top row images are of the lower extremities taken as a baseline on 4-11-05 (prior to ETT use). The arrows denote the most significant areas of inflammation, which correspond precisely with the subject’s areas of complaint.The bottom row images were taken on 4-15-05 after 4 nights of sleeping on the ETT system. Note the significant reduction in inflammation and a return towards normal thermal symmetry.


Case Study #3 – 85 year old male
The thermographic images below show the dramatic reduction in inflammation that resulted in significant pain resolution after only 2 nights sleeping on the Electron Transfer Technology sleep system.

The case presented below was taken from a randomized clinical controlled study. The subject was provided with an Electron Transfer Technology sleep system (ETT) on 8-9-04 and observed for changes with occasional follow up clinical visits over an 8 week period.
Progress was monitored with High-Resolution Medical Infrared Imaging and standardized clinical outcome assessment questionnaires (quadruple visual analogue pain scales and
sleep).

The patient in this study presented on 8-9-04 as a 85 year old male with significant
chronic left low back pain, chronic recurring right shoulder pain, pain interfering with sleep,
and waking stiff and sore over a 4 month period. The patient had been on prolonged medical
treatment with poor results.

On 8-11-04, after 2 nights of sleeping on the ETT system, the patient reported a 50% reduction in pain, an 80% reduction in pain interfering with sleep, and a 75% reduction in waking stiff and sore. After using the ETT sleep system for 4 weeks, the patient reported total resolution of his back and shoulder pain with only occasional mild stiffness. At this time the patient commented that “I have my life back”.

His infrared images show a significant change with a pronounced improvement in inflammation in the left lower back and right shoulder region. The images below demonstrate the significant changes from the baseline images taken on 8-9-04 (before ETT use) to the final images taken on 8-11-04 after 2 nights of sleeping on the ETT sleep system.

The image on the left is of the low back and shoulders taken as a baseline on 8-9-04 (prior to ETT use). The arrows denote the most significant areas of inflammation, which also correspond precisely with the subject’s areas of complaint. The image on the right
was taken on 8-11-04 after 2 nights of sleeping on the ETT sleep system. Note the complete resolution in inflammation with a return of normal thermal symmetry.
