Whole Body Hyperthermia Registry Study

This protocol will allow for the implementation of a research registry pertaining to Whole Body Hyperthermia (WBH) use in various subject populations. The primary objective of the proposed study is to determine if WBH can have beneficial effects in various subject populations currently experiencing numerous other comorbidities, and the duration of the effect(s). This protocol is intended to become a secondary resort for individual's interested in receiving a Hyperthermia treatment for potential beneficial gain related to symptoms stemming from comorbidities other than depression (i.e. Fibromyalgia, Perimenopausal symptoms, arthritis, etc). Due to the fact that no external research funding has been acquired for this broad application this protocol is intended to charge a fee for cost covering purposes only. The registry trial will not be limited to only include individuals with major depressive disorder, however, this protocol will allow for an expanded use in all populations (while still excluding subjects based on safety parameters). We will monitor subject's physiological and clinical outcomes (if applicable) from a single Whole Body Hyperthermia treatment in an open fashion (no placebo/control condition). This registry study will include safety assessments 5 days prior to WBH, the day of WBH and 1 week following WBH.
