Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common intervention for people with end-stage symptomatic knee osteoarthritis, resulting in significant improvements in pain, function and quality of life within thre...
To evaluate the effect of cryotherapy in the acute phase after TKR (within 48 hours after surgery) on blood loss, pain, transfusion rate, range of motion, knee function, adverse events and withdrawals...
We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, six other databases and two trials registers, as well as reference lists, related links and conference proceedings on 27 May 2022....
We included randomised controlled trials or controlled clinical trials comparing cryotherapy with or without other treatments (such as compression, regional nerve block or continuous passive motion) t...
Two review authors independently selected studies for inclusion, extracted data and assessed risk of bias and certainty of evidence using GRADE. We discussed any disagreements and consulted another re...
We included 22 trials (20 randomised trials and two controlled clinical trials), with 1839 total participants. The mean ages reflected the TKR population, ranging from 64 to 74 years. Cryotherapy with...
The certainty of evidence was low for blood loss, pain and range of motion, and very low for transfusion rate, function, total adverse events and withdrawals from adverse events. We are uncertain whet...
Cryotherapy in interventional bronchoscopy is a new treatment modality, which has recently been made available for the paediatric airway. Lack of experience and safety concerns have led to hesitant ad...
Bronchoscopists from medical centre performing cryotherapy in patients between 0 and 18 years were invited to participate in a prospective study based on an online questionnaire. Patient and participa...
A total of 69 cryotherapy procedures were performed in 57 patients a for three main indications: Biopsy (30), restoration of airway patency (23) and foreign body aspiration (16). The overall success r...
In this largest paediatric case collection to date, cryotherapy was safe and carried a high success rate. Cryobiopsy compares favourably to the widely used forceps biopsy and could replace it in the f...
Oral cryotherapy is used in dentistry as a safe, simple, and low-cost treatment for a variety of oral lesions. It is well known for its ability to aid in the healing process. However, its effect on or...
Total knee arthroplasty is performed to relieve knee pain and disability related to end-stage osteoarthritis. Cryotherapy is used as an analgesic method, reducing the intraarticular temperature. The o...
Previous research shows conflicting evidence regarding the postoperative role of cryotherapy after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This systematic review aims to further investigate the effect of vario...
A strategic keyword search of Medline, Cochrane, Embase, and CINAHL retrieved randomized controlled trials examining cryotherapy following TKA published between February 1, 2017, and February 24, 2022...
Opioid use was significantly decreased in cryotherapy groups compared to noncryotherapy groups within the first postoperative week only (P < .05). This effect may be augmented by the use of computer-a...
Cryotherapy's role after TKA appears to be in decreasing opioid consumption primarily in the first postoperative week. Pain ratings also decrease consistently with cryotherapy use, but this decrease m...
Recently, cryotherapy has become a common practice for postoperative pain management. The current accepted practice in Japan is the use of cryotherapy at 5 °C after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Howe...
Because pain levels might differ depending on the condition, we selected 52 patients with rotator cuff injuries, which were the most common disorders indicated for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Patie...
Pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery was found to be related to the presence of a brachial plexus block using the interscalene approach during surgical anesthesia. To obtain effective analgesia wi...
Using universal cryotherapy intensity and duration settings regardless of the use of other interventions is likely to unintentionally increase postoperative pain levels. This study revealed that cryot...
Isolated endotracheal neurofibroma is very rare. The majority of neurofibromas are benign, but rarely, they can become cancerous. Furthermore, symptomatic neurofibroma is usually treated by surgical r...
A 65-year-old woman presented with progressive dyspnea and productive cough. Chest computed tomography scans revealed a 1.5-cm polypoid-shaped mass with fat attenuation and mild enhancement in the dis...
Pathologically, the mass was diagnosed as an endotracheal neurofibroma occupying the distal tracheal lumen....
The endotracheal neurofibroma was completely removed with repeated flexible bronchoscopic cryotherapy instead of surgical resection....
Follow-up flexible bronchoscopy also revealed that there was no regrowth of the neurofibroma. Up to 18 months after the completion of serial cryotherapy, the patient had no recurrent symptoms or compl...
Flexible bronchoscopic cryotherapy can be performed repeatedly for therapeutic purposes for airway tumors. It is recommended to consider flexible bronchoscopic cryotherapy as an alternative therapeuti...
Partial gland ablation (PGA) is a new option for treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). Cryotherapy, an early method of PGA, has had favorable evaluations, but few studies have employed a strict protocol...
143 men with unilateral csPCa were enrolled in a prospective, observational trial of outpatient PGA-cryotherapy. Treatment was a 2-cycle freeze of the affected prostate part. Participants were evaluat...
Of the 143 participants, 136 (95%) completed MRGB at 6 months after treatment. In 103/136 (76%), the biopsy revealed no csPCa. Of the 103, 71 subsequently had an 18-month comprehensive biopsy; of the ...
In the near to intermediate term, partial gland ablation with cryotherapy was found to be a safe and moderately effective treatment of intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Eradication of cancer was bett...
Keloids are common and have significant negative effects on quality of life. There is a need for more effective treatment approaches for keloids....
We investigated treatment outcomes of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (IL TAC) compared with combination IL TAC and cryotherapy, including changes in pruritus, pain, and keloid size....
We performed a prospective study of patients referred to one provider who treated patients with combination therapy and compared them to a historic control cohort treated with IL TAC alone. All patien...
While both treatments produced a significant reduction in mean pruritus and pain scores, there was no difference between the two treatment groups (p = 0.3933 and p = 0.2123, respectively). A greater p...
While both IL TAC and IL TAC with cryotherapy were effective at reducing pruritus and pain, combination therapy was more effective in reducing keloid size, specifically for pubic keloids....
Salvage cryotherapy (SCT) is widely used to treat prostate cancer (PCa) recurrence after radiotherapy (RT). We studied the intermediate oncological and functional outcomes of patients who underwent SC...
An IRB-approved retrospective cohort study utilizing patient data from the Cryo On-Line Data Registry and the Duke PCa database between 1992 and 2016. Biochemical recurrence (BCR) using Phoenix criter...
A total of 194 patients met inclusion criteria. The BCR rate for BT-SCT and CRYO-SCT was 23 (20.4%) and 17 (21%) at 2 years and 30 (26.5%) and 22 (27.2%) at 5 years according to Phoenix criteria. Ther...
CRYO-SCT appears to be well tolerated, with comparable oncological and functional outcomes to patients failing primary BT. The findings also demonstrated that SCT can render a significant number of pa...
