MSAA Cooling Equipment Program information: Many people with multiple sclerosis are heat sensitive. MS research has proven that heat and humidity often aggravate common MS symptoms. MS research has also proven that cooling the body can help lessen the negative effects of heat and humidity on a person with MS.

MSAAs Cooling Equipment Distribution MSAAs Cooling Equipment Distribution Program is a highly successful branch of the Equipment Distribution Program. In association with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), MSAA has conducted extensive research into the effects of moderate, controlled cooling on individuals with heat-sensitive MS. Along with other research studies, results have repeatedly shown that many individuals with heat-sensitive MS find temporary relief of certain symptoms by wearing active cooling garments. Among others, symptom relief may include improvements in energy level, cognitive processing, and motor function through the use of such cooling devices.

The Cooling Equipment Distribution Program provides special cooling apparel at no charge to individuals with MS. Active Suits have a separate cooling unit that circulates cool liquid through a vest and cap worn by the user. Pssive cooling apparel includes vests, collars, bandanas, and wristbands that either hold cool inserts or contain special material that remains cool for up to two hours.
