Clinical Results

Clinical Results

SitReliefs padded undergarments were clinically tested by physicians in HIV+ men with lipoatrophy and sitting pain.

The 2 month study demonstrated a dramatic increase in sitting comfort. At baseline, subjects were able to sit comfortably for an average of 11 minutes. With SitRelief Shorts, the average comfortable sitting time increased to three hours!

Quality of Life

A validated HIV Quality of Life Survey demonstrated a significant increase in Physical Function and Social Function as a result of wearing SitRelief Shorts. In addition, Mental Health and Cognitive Function also improved as a result of sitting pain relief.

The following areas improved significantly:

• depression
• doing more around the house
• doing more outside the house
• feeling isolated
• lacking energy to socialize
• spending quality time with friends.

In addition, trouble remembering things and short attention span improved.

As a result of sitting pain relief, subjects reported being able to participate longer and concentrate better in a wide variety of activities including:

This expansion in activities contributed to the improved Quality of Life Rating scales in the multiple areas noted above.

In general, subjects also reported:

• decreased use of pain medications
