Different Changes in Adipokines, Lipid Profile, and TNF-Alpha Levels between 10 and 20 Whole Body Cryostimulation Sessions in Individuals with I and II Degrees of Obesity

Wanda Pilch et al.

Summary: Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation, and cold therapy may influence the antioxidative status of an individual. This study analyzed the relationship between BMI and the response to cold exposure. The results showed that there are differences in the effects of cryostimulation on adipokine levels and the lipid profile, depending on the number of treatments.

Whole-body cryostimulation in obesity. A scoping review

Jacopo Maria Fontana et al.

Summary: This scoping review evaluates the therapeutic effects of Whole-Body Cryostimulation (WBC) in the treatment of obesity. The limited data suggest the efficacy of WBC as an adjunct treatment for obesity, but larger, high-quality studies are needed to reach definitive conclusions.

Whole-Body Cryostimulation in Fibromyalgia: A Scoping Review

Jacopo Maria Fontana et al.

Summary: Whole-body cryostimulation has shown to induce analgesic effects and improve pain, redox balance, and inflammatory symptoms in fibromyalgia patients. Additionally, it can reduce fatigue, improve mood, and have positive effects on mental health, depressive states, and sleep quality. Although more high-quality studies are needed, initial evidence suggests that WBC is a promising add-on option in the treatment of FM.

Serial whole-body cryotherapy in fibromyalgia is effective and alters cytokine profiles

Philipp Klemm et al.

Summary: The study found that serial WBC has a fast and effective therapeutic effect on FM patients, significantly reducing pain and disease activity. However, there were no significant clinical benefits observed 3 months after treatment discontinuation. Overall, subjects were satisfied with WBC and considered it important and effective.

The Role of Pain Catastrophizing and Pain Acceptance in Performance-Based and Self-Reported Physical Functioning in Individuals with Fibromyalgia and Obesity

Giorgia Varallo et al.

Summary: Psychological factors such as pain catastrophizing and pain acceptance play a role in physical functioning in patients with fibromyalgia, affecting both self-reported and performance-based levels. Multidisciplinary interventions targeting these psychological factors may be effective in improving both perceived and performance-based functioning in patients.

Blood pro-oxidant/antioxidant balance in young men with class II obesity after 20 sessions of whole body cryostimulation: a preliminary study

Wanda Pilch et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the beneficial impact of WBC treatments on the pro-oxidative-antioxidant balance in obese individuals, resulting in a decrease in TOS/TOC levels but no change in TAS/TAC levels. Additionally, an increase in CAT activity was observed in the obese group. Therefore, a higher number of treatments may be needed for patients with class II obesity.
