Efficacy of a Self-managed Cooling Intervention for Pain and Physical Activity in Individuals With Recently Healed Chronic Venous Leg and Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Randomized Controlled Trial

CONCLUSIONS: Application of the cooling pack compared to placebo was minimally efficacious in reducing posthealing pain and improving function in this posthealed ulcer population. However for pain, scores were initially low; thus outcomes on pain, while lower, were marginal. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was prospectively registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on December 10, 2015 (Identifier: NCT02626156), https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02626156.
