Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of local cold therapy in reducing myalgia pain levels among emergency room patients.
METHODS: This was a pre-test/post-test randomized controlled study. Standard treatment (non-steroid analgesic anti-inflammatory parenteral medications) was implemented with one group, while the other groups received cold therapy and standard treatment. Before local cold therapy to the painful area, a Patient Description Form including sociodemographic information and a visual analog scale indicating pain level was applied. The VAS was repeated 10 and 30 minutes after cold therapy to the back.
RESULTS: Examining the patients' pain, it was seen that there was a significant difference in pain in the patients who received cold therapy compared to the standard group, especially after ten minutes (P < .05), but after 30 minutes, no significant difference was seen (P > .05). After the intervention, the pain level after 10 minutes in the control group was 6.6, while it was 4.4 in the experimental group.
CONCLUSIONS: The research showed that cold therapy has an effect on the treatment of myalgia and reduces the level of pain, especially quickly. As a result, it is recommended that research on non-pharmacologic pain management in myalgia be increased.
