Cryo‐Induced Hypoalgesia: The Effects of an Acute Cryochamber Exposure on Pain Perception—A Randomised Controlled Cross‐Over Trial

Whole-body cryotherapy significantly induces short-term hypoalgesia, with increased mechanical pain thresholds lasting up to 30 minutes. Compared to ambient temperature, cryotherapy provided greater pain relief across multiple body landmarks, with 82.6% of participants experiencing hypoalgesia. These findings highlight the potential of cryotherapy for pain management and support further research on its long-term efficacy and clinical applications.
