In case of providing first aid for patients with burns, local cryotherapy allows to downplay the scale of the pathogenetic processes in short term.
Additionally, it can be used in traumatology as a means of analgesia; in terms of gynecology – for effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary system and subsequent normalization of hormonal levels, synchronization of biorhythms of the body of a …show more content…
