Objective: To compare the skin surface temperature during the application of 4 cryotherapy modalities. Design: A repeated-measu res design. Setting: Laboratory experiment. Participants: Convenience sample of 50 women (age range, 20-23y; mean, 20.6 +/- 0.8y). Interventions: Each of the 4 cryotherapy modalities (ice pack, gel pack, frozen peas, mixture of water and alcohol) was applied randomly to the skin overlying the right quadriceps femoris muscle. Main Outcome Measure: Skin surface temperature recorded every minute for 20 minutes. Results: Throughout 20 minutes of cryotherapy application, the ice pack and mixture of water and alcohol showed significantly lower skin surface temperatures than the gel pack or frozen peas (P <.001). The mean skin surface temperature at the 20th minute of application with the ice pack, gel pack, frozen peas, and mixture of water and alcohol was 10.2 degrees +/- 3.5 degrees, 13.9 degrees +/- 4.1 degrees, 14.4 degrees +/- 3.0 degrees, and 10.0 degrees +/- 4.5 degrees C, respectively. Conclusions: The ice pack and mixture of water and alcohol were significantly more efficient in reducing skin surface temperature than the gel pack and frozen peas.
