A randomized, prospective trial to assess the safety and efficacy of hilotherapy in patients after orthognathic surgery

ConclusionThe study results indicate less residual swelling in group 1 on the 30th post-OP day, possible based on the lower cooling temperature. The post-operative pain exhibits a comparable level of pain intensity between the two groups. In overall terms, a subjectively more agreeable treatment was observed in group 1.
