Effect of Ice Massage to Abdomen on Blood Glucose Level and Cardiovascular Function in Healthy Individuals: A Single-group Pre-test and Post-test Experimental Study
Twenty minutes of ice massage to the abdomen improves cardiovascular function immediately after the intervention, whereas after 20 min of intervention, it reduces BGL in addition to improving cardiovascular function in healthy individuals. However, long-term randomized controlled trials in patients with diabetes are recommended with a larger sample size to warrant the clinical efficacy of this study.
