Table 1; Figure 3B); whereas both depths showed significant interaction effects between the treatments and across the time course (1 cm: F 18,342=30, p<0. Heart rate was continuously monitored during the experimental protocol (Accurex Plus, Polar, Kempele, Finland). Arterial blood pressure was measured noninvasively via automated brachial auscultation (Dinamap, GE Pro 300V2, Tampa, Florida), and mean arterial pressure was calculated as follows: diastolic / (0.

Such forms of therapy can often be impractical due to environmental factors and access issues to freezers and ice baths when travelling. The exact mechanisms by which menthol provides local analgesia remain unclear with some suggested theories; these include increased pain receptor thresholds 31, 32 which may be as a result of “The Gate Control Theory”, 31 which blocks pain transmission when alternative peripheral stimulus is received, such as hot or cold. Although the authors did not explain why there were different time effects, it is likely due to different location of TRPM8 receptors in sensory nerves, providing cool sensation 35 and the vasculature, 12, 13 causing vasodilation. This effect was not due to the cooling effect of slowing metabolism from rest 28 as these temperatures were still lower than the untreated control leg which also reduced, over the same time period. difference between treatments with menthol gel significantly higher than placebo gel (∼50%) and ice (∼72%) at 20 minutes (p<0.Participants abstained from strenuous exercise and followed their usual dietary habits for 24 h prior to test sessions, which were conducted at the same time of day to account for circadian variation.

ply, luxury pocket tissues with added softening lotion, delicately fragranced with menthol and eucalyptus.The authors hypothesized that menthol gel would increase cutaneous blood flow due to likely activation of vascular cells TRMP8 to increase endothelial function and subsequent vasodilation. The visual 7 point (1 = much too cool; 7=much too warm) Thermal Comfort Scale 17 was used to establish thermal comfort every 10 minutes. Then the treatment of either ice pack, menthol-based gel or placebo gel were applied to one thigh while the other thigh was used to control for the effects of rest. Following breakfast, the participants ingested a telemetric core temperature capsule (Philips VitalSense, Linton Instrumentation, Norfolk, UK) with the assistance of tap water.

Thus, menthol may induce intramuscular cooling, reduce inflammation and edema with similar endpoints to ice but through an alternative mechanism. Thigh skinfold thickness was measured using Harpenden skinfold calipers (Baty International, West Sussex, United Kingdom) and divided by two to determine the thickness of the thigh subcutaneous fat layer over each participant's vastus lateralis, following which the surface area was cleaned with an alcohol swab. Whereas our the present study used the anterior thigh which is a far greater surface area therefore provides greater capacity for gel absorption during massage. This, in itself, could have important clinical benefit for treating patients with peripheral neuropathy by increasing cutaneous blood flow to their hands and feet to help with distal sensation. contralateral untreated legs by 2-4% at all time points for 3 cm depth but at just 0-60 minutes at 1 cm depth ( Table 1).mm diameter), containing sterilized temperature probes; these contain small thermocouple probes have very low thermal inertia for a fast response and are insulated by a thin polymer layer so the surrounding environment cannot alter the measurement. The added menthol imparts a cooling effect that helps soothe your nose while providing a refreshing sensation. Core temperature remained unaltered, for all three treatments, while skin temperature followed a similar response to intramuscular temperature. The authors’ have previously used the scale during exercise induced hyperthermia 22 and found a strong relationship with core temperature increases. The lotion contains shea butter, aloe, and vitamin E; the scent of Vicks® contains eucalyptus, menthol, and camphor.
