An innovative treatment method, the neurocryostimulation, developed by Cluzeau and a French Company in 1993, gained rapid and wide-spread use among physiotherapists, rheumatologists, and athletes.It would provide a powerfull anti-inflammatory, myorelaxant and analgesic effect but contradictory results are shown in literature. Demoulin et al. aimed to assess the efficacy of neurocryostimulation following total knee arthroplasty compared to routinely used strategies for applying cold therapy, but didn't show significant differences regarding pain severity, mobility and perimetric measures. However, a pilot study led in Switzerland, comparing the pain reported by patients after an acute post-operative knee arthroscopy, has shown a pain differential higher in the neurocryostimulation than in the referenced cryotherapy (2.2 versus 0.5). And, Chatap et al. showed in a prospective study that pain scores decreased significantly after four sessions in elderly patients with acute or chronic pain.
