A new study has been conducted into the treatment of elderly people's pains by NeuroCryoStimulation .
Dr Chatap head of Gerontology department of the Emile Roux Hospital (close to Paris). The reduction in
pain levels experienced by the patients after a few treatments has been remarkable.
This study will be published this year in the French Medical Journal : The Rheumatism Journal and will
be published in English in the International Journal : Joint Bone Spine.
A brief summary of the test is below.
SUMMARY
Objective: To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric gaseous cryotherapy by
carbon dioxide on the severity of elderly people's pain.
Methods: An open prospective study was conducted in patients admitted in
a geriatric center, with several types of pain. At entry, the patients recorded a pain score, marked on a 100mm
visual analogic scale. This measure was repeated for comparison at the end of the treatment session.
Results: Between May and June 2005, Fifty-five patients were enrolled. Mean
age was 82 years. Fourty one patients (74.5%) had a rheumatic or orthopaedic pain, and ten patients (18.1%)
presented neurologic pain. Four subjects were enrolled for swelling or cutaneous haematoma. After a mean of four
sessions of hyperbaric gaseous cryotherapy, pain scores decreased from 47 to 13 mm (p<0.001) for the rheumatic or
orthopaedic pains, and from 51 to 12 mm for the neurologic pains.
Conclusion: Hyperbaric gaseous cryotherapy by carbon dioxide is a modern drug
free technique to effectively manage pain in elderly people.
