Abstract


Introduction: Cryotherapy is a short time usage of temperatures below−100°C to make a physiological reaction to cold. The ϐirst cryotherapy in the world took place in 1978 thanks to Toshiro Yamauchi and his team who performed cryotherapy treatment on patients with Ankylosing spondylitis. The aim of the study was to determine the inϐluence of the systemic cryotherapy on the reduction of blood pressure in patients with hypertension and without it.

Materials and methods: For this study it was examined 45 patients, including 36 women (80%) and 9 men (20%). All patients were undergoing 10 systemic cryotherapy treatments. 45% of them were also diagnosed with hypertension. Time of 1ƗƘ treatment was 1 minute, 5Ƙƌ – about 2 minutes, 10Ƙƌ – about 3 minutes. After cryotherapy each patient was directed to the kinesiotherapy treatment. Measurement of blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) patients was performed 3 times: 1ƗƘ day, 5Ƙƌ and the 10Ƙƌ day: before entering the chamber, immediately after the exit from the chamber and after 15 minutes of exercise (within physiotherapy).

Results and conclusions: In patients with hypertension demonstrated the positive effect of cryotherapy and physiotherapy on blood pressure systolic and diastolic. In the group of patients with hypertension had signiϐicantly higher systolic blood pressure (p < 0.05) and diastolic (p < 0.001) before treatment, compared with patients without hypertension. Cryotherapy and physiotherapy has a positive effect on blood pressure.
