Pain

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Exercise, medicine, and icing protocol decreases pain in humans (VAS 6.6 ± 1.1 to 1.9 ± 0.9 versus 6.5 ± 1.2 to 3.4 ± 1.2; p < 0.001).

    “The EMI group demonstrated significantly greater pain reduction (VAS 6.6 ± 1.1-1.9 ± 0.9) compared with Medicine Alone (6.5 ± 1.2-3.4 ± 1.2; p < 0.001).”
