Methods of whole body cryotherapy effects research

Abstract

Whole body cryotherapy (WBC) effects researches are organized to reveal and collect new clinical results on negative and positive aspects of cold therapy. WBC is a method of body exposing to low temperatures. Nitrogen gas is cooled to -130 С, which lowers the patient's skin surface temperature. Some scientists and doctors see a potential health menace in low temperature use. They suggest starting clinical practice on laboratory animals to minimize the risk of WBC. It is advised to start experiments on rats and mice. For a comprehensive view of clinical practice, it is recommended to evaluate the cryogenic effects on laboratory animals. It is also necessary to understand what scientific and practical value these studies will have and how these findings can be applied.
