Abstract

Background. The purpose of this articele was comparison effectiveness of analgesic local and whole body cryotherapy in the case of chronic pain – difficult interdisciplinary problem.
Material and methods. The research involved 16 patients with chronic pain last 2 years and connected with degeneration changes. The studied groups differd in form of cryotherapy, both had kinezytherapeuthic treatment in the same range. The results were obtained by McGill questionnaire which rely on score in intensity of pain scale (0-10) and functional pain estimate (choosen basic life functions) in scale (1-4). The patients were tested three times: once before treatment, after the end of 20 sessions and again 2 weeks after the end of first procedure. Results and Conclusions. Whole body cryotherapy is more effective in chronic pain. However the study confirmed decreased of pain both in group treated by local and whole body cryotherapy.

Abstract

Considering the serious nature of complications pertaining to the trauma of the glenohumeral joint, the priority is to address the underlying cause as well as symptoms. This research was conducted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of localized cryotherapy and the PNF method on the mobility of the glenohumeral joint, in patients presenting with subacromial impingement syndrome. Each group (test and control) consisted of 18 patients. Patients in the test group were subjected to treatment of local cryotherapy and PNF therapy in the treatment of the shoulder girdle for fifteen days whilst the control group were treated with local cryotherapy procedures for the duration. There is little doubt that local cryotherapy is and effective treatment for various kinds of dysfunction however when combined with other treatment methods (such as PNF) a better outcome is achieved.

Abstract

Introduction. The back pain is frequently caused by spine ligament weakness, changes associated with intervertebral joints, overload, degenerative disc disease and degeneration in the elderly. One of the most crucial results of the local cryotherapy on the surgical area is an analgesic effect. Kinesiology Taping method is based on the alignment of muscle tone on the application area. This technique contributes to increase range of motion and muscle strength.
Material and methods. The study group included 90 patients with degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. They were from Rehabilitation Clinic in Szczecin. All subjects underwent the examination of mobility of the spine and were asked to rate their pain on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) on the first and fifteenth day of treatment. The I group was subjected to Kinesiology Taping method and local cryotherapy 15 times. We used fascia technique in accordance with the methodology. The patients from the II groups were also subjected to local cryotherapy. The III group consisted of the patients who were waiting for the treatment. They underwent the examination of mobility of the spine at the same time as the other groups.
Results. We observed significant pain reduction and significant improvement in motion of lumbar spine in the I group, which was subjected to Kinesiology Taping method in conjunction with local cryotherapy. In the group which was subjected to local cryotherapy, a slight improvement in motion of lumbar spine and in reduction in pain could be observed.
In the III group, which consisted of the patients awaiting the treatment, we observed no significant improvement in flexion or extension of lumbar spine.
Conclusions. Kinesiology Taping method in conjunction with local cryotherapy results in the improvement of lumbar spine mobility. The use of the Kinesiology Taping method together with local cryotherapy has a significant influence on decreasing the intensity of pain.  The application of local cryotherapy alone has significantly lower therapeutic effects than its application together with Kinesiology Taping method.

K. Bęben, M. Kiljański – Comparison of the Local Cryotherapy Treatment with the Application of Liquid Nitrogen or Carbon Dioxide. FP 2016; 16(3):6-17

Abstract
Goal. The aim of the study has been to compare the temperature of the skin surface during the local cryotherapy treatment using carbon dioxide and liquid nitrogen vapor.
Materials and Methods. The study has been carried out in the Pabianice Rehabilitation Center, at the turn of the year 2014/2015, with the group of 52 healthy volunteers of both genders, 20-36 years old, who have been subjected to an one time cryotherapy treatment. The participants have been divided into two groups, marked as B and P. In Group B carbon dioxide has been used as the refrigerant, while in Group P it has been the liquid nitrogen. We have recorded, by means of thermography, the temperature of skin surface before the cryotherapy treatment, immediately after it and after 2 minutes time.
Results and Conclusions. The comparison of the results obtained in both groups indicates, that it is the carbon dioxide, that lowers the temperature, in cryotherapy, to a greater degree. There has been the consensual response in the other hand.
