Abstract in brief

The study investigated whether whole body cryotherapy (WBC) using a Cryosense TCT cabin could help reduce pain and improve quality of life for people with fibromyalgia, a condition with limited effective treatments.
A randomized crossover trial with 60 patients found that WBC significantly decreased pain and disease severity after the first treatment period, although residual effects of WBC influenced results, leading to analysis primarily of the initial phase.
The findings suggest that WBC might be a helpful additional therapy for fibromyalgia, but further research is needed to understand its long-term benefits and how it compares with other physical treatments.
