A heated mask comprises a user-operated control providing a number of different parameters including temperature and duration of heat application. At least one area contains a heater element. The heated mask covers an upper portion of a face and has areas positioned to be in registration with sinuses of a user. The heating element in one form comprises a serpentine conductor having a path through each area and having a preselected resistance in each area. In another form, a plurality of separate electrodes are provided, each in one selected area. Each electrode section is separately controlled to provide a preselected level of heat. It has been found that selected temperatures for a heater provide relief for sinus congestion, and that particular combinations of relative setting of a plurality of electrodes are associated with enhanced therapeutic results.

The electronically regulated temperature compression device is a brace that applies pressure to an appendage. The electronically regulated temperature compression device applies heat therapy and cooling therapy to the appendage. The temperature of the selected therapy is electronically regulated and controlled. The electronically regulated temperature compression device uses a refrigerant-based heat exchange mechanism during the therapy process. The electronically regulated temperature compression device comprises a composite textile, plurality of fasteners, and a controller. The plurality of fasteners attaches the composite textile to the appendage of the patient. The plurality of fasteners controls the pressure applied by the composite textile to the appendage. The composite textile is a temperature controlled textile used to generate a heat exchange between the electronically regulated temperature compression device and the appendage. The controller manages the temperature and flow of the refrigerant during the therapy process.
