A 2024 critical review titled "Cryotherapy for treating soft tissue injuries in sport medicine" challenges the common practice of using ice for injury treatment. The authors conducted a systematic literature search, finding a significant lack of human studies that demonstrate a positive effect of cryotherapy on tissue regeneration, contrasting with its established use for short-term pain relief. While acknowledging that cryotherapy is a basic principle in protocols like RICE, the review highlights that the bulk of evidence on tissue healing comes from animal studies, which often suggest that cryotherapy may delay or impair muscle and tendon regeneration post-injury, especially with prolonged use. Consequently, the authors conclude that cryotherapy should be recommended only in the first hours after an injury to manage pain and swelling, with caution advised for continued application until more conclusive human research is available.
