Abstract in brief

  • The study compared two cryotherapy protocols—standard ice application and intermittent ice application—to treat acute ankle sprains, finding that intermittent therapy resulted in significantly less pain during activity one week post-injury.
  • Both groups showed similar levels of swelling, pain at rest, and functional recovery at one week, indicating no difference between protocols in these areas short-term.
  • The findings suggest that intermittent ice applications may improve pain relief in the early phase of soft tissue injury management, although further research is needed to confirm long-term benefits.]

NTC足班の勉強会では、アイシングに関する論文（https://t.co/cGxVYnJgd9）を発表して頂きディスカッション（臨床でアイシングをどのように活用しているか？）しました。 近年、アイシングが悪いような風潮になっているような気がしますが、適応と工夫次第では非常に活用できると思っています。
