“…However, within this range of 15°C through 43°C, lower skin temperatures were associated with longer latencies to pain sensation indicating decreased pain sensitivity [14,15]. Considering these findings, Daimon et al tried to control pain during needle insertion for HD by decreasing skin temperature to 20°C with a cooling gel [16]. Skin cooling was found to reduce needle insertion pain significantly and as effectively as lidocaine patches.…”

Background: Needle insertion pain associated with maintenance hemodialysis (HD) causes considerable stress on HD patients with native arteriovenous fistula. Skin cooling has been suggested to modify pain sensitivity and reduce needle insertion pain. Recently, a skin cooling device, named Mutsu-Senshi®, has been developed to decrease local skin temperature to 21°C smoothly and safely at the bedside. Therefore, we examined the effectiveness of Mutsu-Senshi® in 4 HD centers in Japan.

“…In contrast, Montgomery et al [4] reported that if injection was performed with the patient blinded, injection pain intensity did not differ significantly between leuprorelin acetate and goserelin. Medical applications of icing include physical therapy, laser treatment, cannulation with large-bore needles for dialysis and minor surgical procedures [5,6,7,8]. de Jong et al [9] reported that the nerve-muscle system apparently became non-excitable between 18 and 20°C in 7 patients who underwent surgery for ligation of intracranial vascular aneurysms under hypothermia.…”

Objective: The efficacy of skin icing to reduce the pain of goserelin injection has been reported. We investigated the optimal icing time with a frozen gel pack and its effectiveness. Methods: Abdominal skin temperatures of 49 healthy volunteers were measured after application of the frozen gel pack for 10, 15 and 30 s, and it was decided that a 15-second icing was adequate. For 55 consecutive patients who received goserelin (10.8 mg) injection, pain was evaluated employing a visual analog scale (VAS). The first injection was administered routinely. A second injection was administered after skin icing in 27 of 55 patients who wanted to try icing. At the time of the third injection, all patient decided whether they were to receive icing or the routine method. Results: After icing, VAS scores decreased in 20 of 27 patients. At the third injection, 18 patients requested icing. Conclusion: When a patient complains of injection pain, the icing method should be considered for pain reduction.
