Refrigeration reduces instillation discomfort of a 0.09% cyclosporine A solution
Up to 60% of participants found that cold instillation of CsA solution induced less discomfort than warm instillation, lasting up to 9 minutes post-instillation. In contrast, although 15% of participants found reduced discomfort with warm instillation, the magnitude of discomfort associated with warm instillation was not significantly different than cold instillation.
