Intérêt de la neurocryostimulation dans la prise en charge de la douleur post-traumatique en médecine d’urgence [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Objective This work was designed to assess the antalgic effect of neurocryostimulation on traumatic pain in the emergency room. Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted in an emergency room during 12 days. Patients who were more than 12-year-old and admitted to the emergency room for up to 24 h for trauma pain were included. After pain assessment by a pain intensity numeric rating scale (PRS; score 0 to 100) during the first medical contact (t0), the patients received a single neurocryostimulation session. Pain intensity was re-evaluated just after the cryotherapy session (t1), and when the patients went out of the emergency room (t2). Results: Forty-nine patients were included in this study. During the first medical contact (t0), the average pain intensity was about 63 ± 16. The pain score rapidly decreased to 46 ± 23 (27% of reduction, P \textless 0.05) after the neurocryostimulation session (t1). Pain decrease was constant: the value of pain intensity at the release of the patients from the emergency room was 34 ± 20 (46% of reduction, P \textless 0.05). The decrease of pain intensity tends to be more important for patients with a PRS ≥ 70 (49% of reduction, P \textless 0.05). Conclusion Neurocryostimulation is an effective antalgic technique for emergency trauma for mild and major pains, as a supplement to usual antalgic treatments.
