Toward isolating perceptual and physiological contributors to heat sensitivity in multiple sclerosis: insights from a new experimental model
Localised skin cooling during passive heating to a moderate core temperature produces only a modest reduction in WBTS and does not mitigate heat-induced visual performance decrements. The limited perceptual difference achieved suggests the localised skin cooling was insufficient to meaningfully isolate the effects of skin temperature from core temperature.
