Proven Effectiveness Through Studies – SWIT® in Real-World Use

Study on the SWIT® Spavin Boot for Horses

Pain Reduction in Horses with Spavin Scientifically Proven

This EEG-based study examined horses diagnosed by veterinarians with spavin (arthritis in the hock joint). The aim was to measure the activity of so-called gamma waves in the brain – a frequency range associated with the perception of pain.

Results:

  • After using the SWIT® Boot, gamma wave activity was reduced in all horses.

  • The animals appeared more relaxed, moved more freely, and behaved more calmly during shoeing.

  • Notable changes were observed in the parietal cortex, where physical sensations are processed.

Stress Reduction Through Neurostimulation – Measured by Gender and Brain Hemisphere

This neuroethological study involving 26 Icelandic horses analyzed the effects of the „Relax” and “Regeneration” programs using über EEG wave analysis – combined with video recordings and ethological observations.

Results:

  • Both programs led to a significant reduction in stress-related brain activity (especially beta and gamma waves).

  • Gender-specific differences were observed in the effects on the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

  • SWIT® balanced the brain’s natural lateral asymmetry – an indicator of improved mental equilibrium.

  • Owners subjectively reported calmer and more attentive horses.

Scientifically Studied Effects on Calmness, Behavior & Recovery in Dogs

As part of an EEG study, the effects of the SWIT® Dog Mat were examined in 20 dogs of various breeds. The analysis focused on behavioral observations, EEG evaluations, and owner feedback.

Results:

  • EEG data showed a significant increase in relaxation-associated brain waves (Alpha, Theta).

  • During application, dogs displayed calm behavior, deeper breathing, and overall more balanced behavior.

  • The effect was particularly noticeable in stress-sensitive or rescued animals.

  • Owners observed improved sleep quality, reduced irritability, and faster recovery.
