On February 6, 1997, a peer-reviewed clinical study on the therapeutic effectiveness of cervical pillows, released by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, revealed that the Mediflow® water pillow was associated with reduced morning pain intensity, increased pain relief and improved quality of sleep. When compared to the participants own pillows and a roll pillow, the study also showed that the Mediflow water pillow was significantly better for overall satisfaction.

"To be recognized by a published Johns Hopkins School of Medicine peer-reviewed clinical study is a great honor for our company", said Maurice Bard, Chief Executive Officer of Mediflow, Inc. "There is no higher form of medical proof than a peer-reviewed clinical study and there is not a more recognized name in medicine than the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine."

On January 16, 1996, Director of Research and Ergonomics Gary E. Sanders, PhD reported the results of the following study on the Mediflow® water pillow: 104 subjects were given the Mediflow® water pillow, pre-filled with 128 ounces of water, and were asked to sleep with it for seven consecutive nights. Each subject was then asked to complete a five item survey regarding their impression of the Mediflow® water pillow. The results of the survey showed…

• Sixty-eight percent of the subjects felt the Mediflow® water pillow was better than the pillow they normally used.
• Sixty-eight percent of the subjects said the quality of their sleep improved when using the Mediflow® water pillow.
• Ninety percent of the subjects said they would continue to use the Mediflow® water pillow.
• Eighty-four percent of the subjects rated the Mediflow® water pillow 8 or better on a 10 point scale. (10 being the highest satisfaction).
