Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We planned to elucidate the optimum application temperature and duration, and other factors influencing pain and distress, in patients receiving cryotherapy after arthroscopic shoulder surgery, in order to develop comfortable and effective methods of cryotherapy. However, this study can not clarify the results in the process of securing data, because there are as few as 38 cases in the target patient (19 cases at 5 °C 16 hour group, 14 cases at 5 °C 24 hour group, 5 cases at 10 °C 16 hour group). The reason is that it is half of target patient data due to a decrease in the number of surgical operations in one year. The current analysis can only be done between some groups. In the results of 38 cases, there was no significant difference in cooling temperature, Visual Analogue Scale, and pain strength in comparison between groups. A time comparison at 5°C showed a significant difference in C-reactive protein on the first day after surgery.
