“…The improvement in the pain threshold in adding the ice massage to the INIT supported our findings and may be explained by Algafly et al [18], who directed his study to determine the impact of the application of cryotherapy on nerve conduction velocity (NCV), pain threshold (PTH), and pain tolerance (PTO). The results suggested that cryotherapy can increase PTH and PTO at the ankle and this was associated with a significant decrease in NCV.…”

Background Myofascial trigger point (MTrP) plays a major role in the genesis of mechanical neck pain, which may lead to chronic disorders. The purpose of the study is to investigate and compare the effect of ice massage plus integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT) versus INIT alone on active trigger points in the upper trapezius of persons having mechanical neck pain. Forty participants diagnosed as mechanical neck pain with upper trapezius active myofascial trigger points. They were randomized into two equal groups. Group A (experimental) received ice massage for 10 min plus INIT, while group B (control) received INIT alone. The treatment program continued for 2 weeks (3 sessions/week). The outcome measures are the pain intensity, pain pressure threshold, cervical lateral side bending and neck daily functions. Results The results showed that there were significant improvements in VAS at p = .899 and F = .78, PPT at p = .288 and F = .553, cervical side bending at p = .094 and F < 0.00001, and NDI at p = .164 and F = 0.00001 in both groups, while there were no statistically significant differences between both groups as p > 0.05. Conclusion Ice massage and INIT are effective methods in managing active trigger points in the upper trapezius of persons having mechanical neck pain without statistically significant difference.

“…12 Hasil penelitian ini sejalan dengan hasil penelitian Chrusciák (2016), bahwa pada pengujian whole body cryotherapy pada subjek OA didapatkan nilai rata-rata VAS sebelum diberikan terapi adalah 5,1 dan menurun menjadi 2,6 setelah diberikan 10 sesi whole body cryotherapy dan menyimpulkan bahwa whole body cryotherapy dapat menurunkan frekuensi dan tingkat persepsi nyeri pada subjek OA. 13 14 Namun pada 10MWT subjek yang menerima terapi SWD tidak menunjukkan perubahan yang signifikan. Nilai 10MWT menurun dari rata-rata 8,361 menjadi 7,891 dengan nilai p = 0,0798.…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) adalah gangguan kronis pada sendi synovial, yaitu terjadi pelunakan yang progresif dan kerusakan pada tulang rawan sendi yang mengakibatkan nyeri dan gangguan fungsi. OA lutut simtomatik terjadi pada 10% laki-laki dan 13% wanita yang berusia 60 tahun ke atas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat perbedaan antara intervensi short wave diathermy (SWD) dan cryotherapy terhadap skala fungsi pasien OA lutut dengan munggunakan VAS, WOMAC, dan 10MWT. Metode penelitian ini adalah experimental dengan consecutive sampling. Pasien diukur tingkat fungsional sebelum dan sesudah satu kali terapi SWD (15 pasien) atau cryotherapy (15 pasien) menggunakan skala VAS, WOMAC dan 10MWT. Hasil penelitian pada pasien yang menerima SWD, rata-rata nilai VAS menurun dari 4,400 menjadi 2,467 (p = 0,003), rata-rata nilai WOMAC menurun dari 24,600 menjadi 15,200 (p = 0,004) dan rata-rata nilai 10MWT menurun dari 8,361 menjadi 7,891 (p = 0,789). Pada pasien yang menerima cryotherapy, rata-rata nilai VAS menurun dari 5,467 menjadi 2,867 (p = 0,003), rata-rata nilai WOMAC menurun dari 35,000 menjadi 23,867 (p = 0,003) dan rata-rata nilai 10MWT meningkat dari 8,907 menjadi 8,946 namun tidak bermakna (p = 0,691). Pada satu kali terapi SWD dan cryotherapy mampu menurunkan VAS dan WOMAC secara signifikan, namun belum cukup untuk memperbaiki 10MWT. Tetapi pada perbandingan antara kedua kelompok SWD dengan cryotherapy tidak terdapat berbedaan yang bermakna. Kesimpulannya, terdapat perbedaan skala fungsi pasien OA lutut dari VAS dan WOMAC pada intervensi SWD atau cryotherapy. Pada penilaian 10MWT tidak terdapat perbedaan pada intervensi SWD atau cryotherapy.. Kata kunci: cryotherapy, osteoarthritis, short wave diathermy.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic progressive degenerative joint disease that affects a significant portion of the equine population and humans worldwide. Current treatment options for equine OA are limited and incompletely curative. Horses provide an excellent large-animal model for studying human OA. Recent advances in the field of regenerative medicine have led to the exploration of extracellular vesicles (EVs)—cargoes of microRNA, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids—to evaluate their diagnostic value in terms of disease progression and severity, as well as a potential cell-free therapeutic approach for equine OA. EVs transmit molecular signals that influence various biological processes, including the inflammatory response, apoptosis, proliferation, and cell communication. In the present review, we summarize recent advances in the isolation and identification of EVs, the use of their biologically active components as biomarkers, and the distribution of the gap junction protein connexin 43. Moreover, we highlight the role of mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs as a potential therapeutic tool for equine musculoskeletal disorders. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for OA. In particular, the roles of EVs as biomarkers in synovial fluid, chondrocytes, and plasma for the early detection of equine OA are discussed.
