Within 20 minutes 60 of the volunteers had most or all of their pain relieved.
One person, with deep knee pain, applied 2 treatments of X-Celerel and cold TherapEze and noticed profound relief about 4 hours later, and reported the next day that he still had relief.
The individual with a new stress fracture in his wrist also required two applications and reported 60% relief in 40 minutes.
Where swelling was initially evident, there were noticible reductions.
Only one person reported no relief.
The numbers of people successfully treating themselves for pain caught the attention of a reporter who filed the following article:
EXERPT FROM ARTICLE IN THE MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE 
"EXPO IS A CRADLE OF CREATIVITY"
Inventors show off solutions to some common problems -- and to some less frequently considered.

Deb Hess, executive director, has been a volunteer for 21 years at the Minnisota Inventors Congress. She said the expo provides valuable resources for inventors. "We have such a passion to help these inventors," she said. "They need this opportunity to test-market their products. It’s that one contact that could make a difference."
Clint Fruitman and his wife, Noel, drove 1,700 miles from Chandler, Ariz., to display their therapy pad and massage cream. As Green did 20 years ago, they hope to expand their product to a larger market.
Fruitman said he has worked on his inventions since March 2004, driven by the desire to help his wife deal with pain caused by diabetes. Her diabetes was diagnosed when she was 8, and now at 62 she wears braces on both feet and has constant swelling late in the day.
"I had to do something," Fruitman said. "I was desperate. My wife couldn’t walk."
His wife uses both products regularly and said the cold-pack pads reduce her pain dramatically.
