Abstract in brief
Cryotherapy is a simple, affordable, and effective method used to manage chronic pain, applied locally (like ice packs) or nonlocally (such as whole-body cryotherapy), showing promise in reducing pain from various chronic diseases.
A review of 25 studies, including randomized controlled trials and observational studies, suggests that cryotherapy is generally safe with minimal side effects, although variability among studies makes it hard to compare results directly.
Due to differences in study designs and lack of standardization, a formal meta-analysis wasn't possible, but cryotherapy remains a potentially low-risk, helpful addition to chronic pain management strategies.
