Gouty arthritis is a type of autoinflammatory arthritis that generates higher levels of pain with only minimum movement in the joint. The pain is shown to have a negative correlation with the physical function, reduced peak ankle joint angular, mobility velocity , and physical function. As such, the investigator can conclude that gout arthritis led to raises intolerance foot pain, physical inactivity, and joint mobility reduction. Currently, intermittent drugs use for pain relief is suggested to contribute to the renal impairment side effect. However, the investigator found that there is a limited study that investigated non-pharmacological intervention among people with gouty arthritis. The pain among people with gouty arthritis has also been shown to increase the degree of depression, anxiety, and depression. Also, the high levels of pain, psychological distress, anxiety, and depression were found as the risk factor of poor Quality of Life (QOL). Cold therapy (cryotherapy) application has been proven as useful adjuvant therapy on pain among people with gouty arthritis. CWI therapy has twofold reduced the inflammation. Firstly, it attenuates metabolic processes in stressed tissues and slowing cytokine and myokine up-regulation that mediates inflammation. Second, CWI induces microvasculature vasoconstriction by perfusing stressed tissue and reducing the circulatory of tissue access to inflammatory cells. Meanwhile, the high prevalence of gouty arthritis has been presented in North Celebes, Indonesia. Moreover, more than 50% of patients are too late for effective therapy and they had observed tophi for 7 to 9 years before presenting for treatment. These empirical issues indicate that it is vital to investigate gouty arthritis-related risk factors to protect Indonesians from this disease. The investigator aims to investigate a unique analysis of the CWI (20-30C) therapy effect on pain, joint mobility, stress, anxiety, depression, QOL (encompasses PCS and MCS), physical activity (MET-h/week) in the multicenter-community setting with a longitudinal study design.

Primary | Pain Level assessed by The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at the baseline | Pain Level assessed by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) instrument that has 10 centimeters length. The standard scale anchored by "no pain" marked as a score of 0 and the "worst imaginable pain" marked as a score of 10 cm (Huskisson et al., 1974; Scott & Huskisson, 1976). The higher score identifies greater pain intensity. The reliability test showed that VAS was good (r = 0.94, p = 0.001) (Ferraz et al., 1990). The reliability test of the VAS instrument has been done in Indonesia with the Cronbach's alpha as 0.89 (Suwendar et al., 2017) | Baseline/ pre-intervention | |

Secondary | Joint mobility assessed by Goniometry at the baseline | Joint mobility assessed by Goniometry. The range of knee joint motion was calculated using an International Standard Orthopedic Measurement (ISOM) goniometric. Its method using the Sagittal Frontal Transverse Rotation (SFTR) system to an accuracy of 10 (Dorwart, Hansell, & Schumacher, 1974). Goniometry provides an objective assessment tool to measure the range of motion (Rose & Norton, 1987). The validity and reliability of Goniometry are 0.98 and 0.97, respectively (Rose & Norton, 1987). The validity score of the Indonesian version is 0.97, and the Cronbach alpha as 0.51 (Hafiyah, 2013). | Baseline/ pre-intervention | |

Secondary | Stress, anxiety, depression assessed by The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale questionnaire at the baseline | The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale questionnaire is used to measure the negative states of three mental health conditions: depression, anxiety, and stress using a self-report 4-point Likert scale. Data was collected by reflects the thoughts, feelings, and behavior (Oei, Sawang, Goh, & Mukhtar, 2013). The result will be defined by the total scores of responses from the 7-item subscale of this questionnaire. The lower score shows a better result. If the total number of depressions is 9 or below and the extremely severe is 34 or over. The Cronbach's alphas of Indonesian translated is 0.72 to 0.87 (Susilowati, Isahak, & Harncharoen, 2016). | Baseline/ pre-intervention | |

Secondary | Physical activity (MET-h/week) level assessed by questions based on the modified Physical Activity Guideline at the baseline | The physical activity level was investigated as metabolic equivalent of task (MET)-hr/week by using three questions based on the modified Physical Activity Guideline from the Advisory Committee for Americans (Shiroma, Sesso, Moorthy, Buring, & Lee, 2015) and the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (Godin & Shephard, 1997). We then categorized participants based on the exercise type (that is divided into the following categories: mild (e.g., yoga, bowling, or floor-sweeping), moderate (e.g., gym, baseball, or badminton), and strenuous exercise (e.g., hiking, soccer, or running)), duration in minutes and exercise intensity they presented during a typical week. We multiplied the amount of mild, moderate, and strenuous exercise hours and duration by 3, 5, and 9, respectively. By summing the exercise pattern of the separate things, we measured total weekly PA in arbitrary units (Rias et al., 2020). | Baseline, pre-intervention | |
