Since its introduction on the market, the STAUDT® therapy sleeve (night bandage) has been repeatedly tested in scientific studies. All of the tests and observations from clinical studies that have been performed have demonstrated outstanding results, convincing both scientists and experts of the effectiveness of the STAUDT® therapy sleeve.
During the period from 1 March to 31 August 2017, an observational study on the STAUDT® therapy sleeves was carried out under the medical direction of Dr Renate Strasser, Medical Director at Bad Schallerbacherhof Hospital in Bad Schallerbach, Austria, and Bärenhof Health Center in Bad Gastein, Austria, with medical supervision by Dr Sebastian Edtinger. The study looked at the effects of the STAUDT® knee sleeve, shoulder sleeve, back sleeve and glove sleeve. Fifty individuals were examined for this purpose. (conducted by Strasser & Edtinger [1], Bad Schallerbach and Bad Gastein, Austria)
The classification and determination of the degree of pain was established using a numerical rating scale from 1 to 10. Imagery was incorporated to facilitate the process of determining the rating.
The values were calculated by adding the sum of the pain points of all the patients (sum of all pain points was initially 203 points – page 13) and considered in relation to the cumulative changes on the respective observation day. The result was shown as a total and as a percentage. (Sum of pain points on day 7 = 156 = reduction of 23%).
A reduction in pain greater than 55% indicates a significant improvement in quality of life – and this is achieved with a bandage worn during the night.
Below is a list of other tests and clinical observations from previous years based on measurements of ‘therapeutic success’ and ‘tolerability’, which confirm the positive effect achieved by STAUDT® therapy sleeves (bandages intended for use at night).
Study conducted by Wicker [2], Salzburg, Austria
A cohort of 164 subjects was tested consisting primarily of athletes with:
Dr Anton Wicker, Head of the University Clinic for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Salzburg Provincial Hospitals
