Cryotherapy Effect Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Rate of Intramuscular Tissue Temperature Reduction Between Wetted Ice With Elastic Wrap and Game Ready
This study compares the tissue temperature decrease between a wetted ice bag (ice and water) with an elastic wrap to the Game Ready® treatment. The goal is to determine which one decreases the temperature the most and the fastest, which is important in immediate care treatments of a musculoskeletal injury.
The purpose of this study will be to determine which cryotherapy method, wetted ice bag and
elastic wrap or Game Ready® set at medium pressure, decreases tissue temperature the most
during a 30-minute treatment. Due to the convenience of Game Ready®, it is being used as an
immediate care intervention. Findings in the literature have indicated wetted ice cools
tissue temperature more than cubed or crushed ice based on the assumption that colder is
better. Conversely, research on Game Ready® has revealed ice bags and slush buckets cause a
greater reduction in tissue temperature compared to Game Ready®. However, no study exists
comparing the effects of Game Ready® versus wetted ice on intramuscular tissue temperature
reduction as immediate care interventions. Based on the results, this study may help
contribute to the existing literature on tissue temperature reduction of both Game Ready® and
wetted ice to determine the better modality to use for immediate care. The research questions
guiding this study will be:
1. Which cryotherapy method, Game Ready® or wetted ice with elastic wrap, will be the most
effective at decreasing intramuscular tissue temperature during a 30-minute application
in patients aged 18-40 years old?
2. Which cryotherapy method, Game Ready® or wetted ice with elastic wrap, will achieve an
intramuscular tissue temperature reduction the fastest?
