Phase 4 of a verification study conducted by Phiten and the largest private rehabilitation facility, "Nokosoku rehab center",confirmed that Healthy Light Bathing has the effect of improving the quality of rest during daytime naps.

​

In a study involving 10 participants, light was applied to the lower back using two types of domes: the Healthy Light Bathing Dome and a placebo dome of identical design without Phiten technology. The quality of rest was evaluated by comparing data from electroencephalograms (EEG) and Holter electrocardiograms (ECG). Using alpha, beta, and theta wave components from EEG data and the LF/HF ratio—a key indicator of autonomic nervous system activity—relaxation was evaluated. In a relaxed state, alpha and theta wave activity increases, beta wave activity decreases, and the LF/HF ratio lowers. The validation study yielded positive results for Healthy Light Bathing, confirming its effectiveness in significantly enhancing the quality of rest.

Verification experiment report Phase 3 by Phiten and the largest private rehabilitation facility, "Nokosoku rehab center" reports the results of an experiment showing that "Phiten's ' nano METAX COATING' Technology" has the effect of "relaxing muscle tension", "recovering from fatigue and improving concentration"

​

Phiten nano METAX fabric is used to 10 people with hemiplegia due to the aftereffects of a stroke during their rehabilitation, and the survey was conducted on the before and after-change in muscle tones on an affected side by electromyography and a survey on the actual feeling of use, and found that muscle tones was Approx. about twice as high when the fabric was not used compared to when the fabric was wrapped around the arm. The same stress-loading task was performed on four people in a nano METAX coated space and in a space without nano METAX coating, and their recovery from stress/fatigue and ability to concentrate were verified by Holter electrocardiogram. The results showed that the participants in the nano METAX coated space were more likely to recover from the mental stress and were able to concentrate better on the task within the specified time frame. In the non-nano METAX space, stress values increased after the task was performed, whereas in the nano METAX coated space, stress values decreased after the task was performed.

​

Phase 2 report of validation experiment by Phiten and the largest private rehabilitation facility, "Nokosoku rehab center" shows the possibility that "Phiten Light Technology" is effective in improving the efficiency of rehabilitation (motor learning) and self-care for stroke sequelae (hemiplegia).

​

We conducted a survey (Descriptive form to 20 subjects and interviews with 5 therapists in charge of rehabilitation) on the improvement in the efficiency of movement due to changes in muscle tones on the paralyzed side, their self- awareness of the improvement, and their intention to continue using the therapy during the rehabilitation of 20 people with hemiplegia caused by sequelae of stroke, using the Phiten optical technology. The therapist in charge of rehabilitation recognized a real change, and 70% of the patients who received the treatment were aware of the change. As for the details of the changes, more than half of the respondents acknowledged responses related to ease of movements, such as user "lighter and easier to move" and therapist "decreased muscle tension in irradiated muscles and improved efficiency in certain movements."

Phase 1 report of a verification experiment by Phiten and the largest private rehabilitation company, the Nokosoku rehab center [The effectiveness of using Phiten Titanium Tape in rehabilitation for stroke sequelae (hemiplegia) has been demonstrated]

Phiten Titanium Tape was applied during rehabilitation to 40 people with hemiplegia due to the aftereffects of a stroke, and a survey was conducted on changes in muscle tones on the affected side before and after use, and on actual usage. As a result, 83.8％ of the patients (92.5％ of the therapists in charge of rehabilitation) recognized changes in muscle tones, and more than half of the patients and therapists respectively reported "feel lighter, relax one's strength, and easier movement" and "decreased muscle tones in the tape attached to muscle, improved joint mobility, and increased efficiency in specific movements".

​

In an experiment using a stress load model at Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, it was found that products using Phiten's Aqua Metal technology (such as Power Tape and various impregnated products) have the potential to suppress stress.

​

National University Corporation Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (Location: Obihiro City, Hokkaido, President: Kiyoshi Okuda) In an experiment using a "stress load model" with Professor Hiroshi Suzuki in the field of genomic function at the Protozoal Disease Center, a restraining device for restraining mice , When comparing with and without application of Phiten's AQUA METAL technology "METAX", it was found that there is a possibility of suppressing stress with Phiten's METAX. We conducted the experiment with Hiroshi Suzuki of the Department of Functional Genomics, Center for Protozoan Diseases, Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (Obihiro, Hokkaido; President: Kiyoshi Okuda), using a "stress load model" on mice. When we compared the restraining device that restrained the mouse with and without the application of Phiten AQUA METAL technology "METAX", it was found that there is a possibility of suppressing stress with "METAX".

​

[Phiten x NextGeM Joint Development Program] New possibilities have been found in Phiten's water-soluble technology.

​

As a result of three years of joint development with NextGeM Inc., it was suggested that the Phiten environment may have some effect on the expression of intracellular molecules and enhance the efficacy of anticancer drugs.

​

Test results suggest that Phiten's water-soluble metal technology "METAX" has an anti-anxiety effect.

​

A fear conditioning test was carried out using mice that had been kept in a breeding cage equipped with Phiten's unique technology "METAX" for 14 days, and the level of anxiety was evaluated by the time of freezing behavior (immobility). The 60-240 seconds of inactivity was reduced, it is suggesting that METAX has an anti-anxiety effect.
