In statistical contexts, the word significant means that the results are so certain that one knows that they are not down to chance. Determined models and methods exist to be able to state that the risk of the result being due to random factors is so small that it is possible to draw certain scientific conclusions from a study.

Accepted statistical models

When we write that the participants in a study improved significantly through training with IQoro, this means that according to accepted statistical models, we can conclude that the improvement genuinely occurred because of the treatment and not for any other reason.

How statistical significance is achieved in a study varies. It depends, among other things, on the number of participants in the study and how clear the result is.

There are different requirements for different types of studies

The requirement for the level of statistical significance in a study may also vary.

It therefore takes more participants to achieve statistical significance for a medical study where one needs to be able to assess the risk of unusual side effects, than is required for a scientific study on IQoro, for example.

It is known that IQoro is a class 1 medical device that is risk-free to use. Therefore, studies can be done comparing the efficacy of IQoro on different groups that have fewer participants in the number than you need when, for example, developing a completely new vaccine.

Collaboration with statisticians

Statistical significance is calculated through statistical models. In the studies on training with IQoro, the number of participants has been developed in collaboration with a statistician to provide a sufficient basis to be able to state that the result depends on the treatment and not on chance.

Significance is often expressed in studies as p < 0.05 for example, which means that there is less than a five percent chance that the result is down to chance or p < 0.001 which means that there is less than one per thousand risk (0.1 %) that the result is down to chance.

More statistically significant studies make the results even safer

Since it is almost never possible to completely exclude chance in a single study, or that a study is influenced by factors in different ways that are difficult to assess, further research is important.

The results of the studies on training with IQoro are in line with each other and each achieve statistically significant results.

The number of participants in the studies of IQoro has been determined together with a statistician for the data to be sufficient to state that the results are statistically significant, that is they are not down to chance.

This question is usually about the comparison with large drug studies where changes in the body are made by adding a drug, for example to reduce the production of stomach acid.

Changes in the body involve a high risk that must be carefully balanced against the benefit, which requires a significantly larger basis for capturing unusual side effects or placebo effects.

IQoro is a CE marked medical device product, class 1, low risk. With that come other requirements and regulations.

Yes, you may experience muscle soreness from using IQoro.

Muscle soreness is mainly experienced in the mouth, tongue and throat and can sometimes even be experienced in the same way as when you get sick, even though it is the muscles that hurt and not an incipient throat infection.

Experiencing muscle soreness is not dangerous and it will go away on its own. You can continue to train despite the soreness, but try to reduce the number of seconds per stretch slightly over a period of time and then slowly step up to ten seconds per stretch again after a few weeks.

Here you can read more about IQoro and muscle soreness.

Suffering from worsening symptoms after a period of exercise can be unpleasant, but is completely harmless. The reason behind it is that IQoro creates a pressure change inside the body.

The change in pressure causes the stomach acid to be pushed up into the esophagus even more easily, while your muscles have not yet become strong enough to hold the stomach in place.

When this happens, it is important to continue treatment, as strengthened muscles will counteract your symptoms in the long run.

The accompanying IQoro manual contains information about the guarantee and how to best to care for your IQoro. Expected service life is 12 months of normal use. This is based on the fact that IQoro is a product that is used in the mouth and that has to be pulled. This leads to natural wear and tear in the plastic during use.

Do not use IQoro if it is broken or has cracks in the plastic.
