The cold pain therapy includes the usage of cold materials to relieve pain. Cryotherapy is commonly used as an essential injury management skill. Ice packs are used on inflammations and injuries to help reduce pain and swelling. Studies indicate that cold compression slows blood flow to the injury, thereby reducing pain, inflammation, and muscle spasm. Ice packs are effective, inexpensive, and drugless methods to relieve pain from sprains, strains, bruises, tendinitis, and swelling caused due to trauma to superficial tissues. Cold packs, used on inflammations act as primary analgesic to relieve pain. Cold pain therapy is primarily used on fresh injuries such as ligament sprains, muscle sprains, and severe bruises. This therapy is used for chronic overuse or tissue fatigue injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, supraspinatus tendinitis, iliotibial band syndrome, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and plantar fasciitis.
Increase in the number of injuries caused during sports activities, rise in emphasis on exercise and gym activities to maintain health, growth in health care expenditure due to physical injuries caused by obesity or lack of activity, and stringent regulatory approval process for oral pain medicines are key drivers propelling the Cold Pain Therapy Market during the forecast period. However, lack of reimbursement, clinical evidence for the medication for cold pain therapy, side effects, and discomfort associated with the treatment are factors restraining the cold pain therapy market.
