Comparison in skin surface temperature reduction (°C), from baseline 1 to the completion of all applications, between gel pack and ice bag groups
| Modality | Reduction from baseline*°C first application | Significant level between gel and ice (p value) | Reduction from baseline*°C second application | Significant level between gel and ice (p value) | Reduction from baseline*°C third application | Significant level Between gel and ice (p value) | Reduction from baseline*°C fouth application | Significant level between gel and ice (p value) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ICE | 5.0±1.7 | p<0.04 | 6.4±2.6 | p<0.34 | 6.5±2.1 | p<0.95 | 6.5±2.1 | p<0.88 |
| GEL | 4.0±0.8 | 5.5±1.9 | 6.5±1.4 | 6.6±2.7 |
