First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a T-shirt printed with ceramic particles that claim to use body heat to emit far infrared radiation, potentially reducing inflammation and muscle pain. Fifty adults with chronic neck or lower back pain wore the shirt for 8 hours. Researchers measured changes in quality of life and well-being to see if the garment provided relief.
