DictionarySeecryotherapyEncyclopediaSeeCryotherapyMedicalSeeCRYOTHERAPY: Frosting of the skin at the site of actinic keratosis after treatment with liquid nitrogen1. The application of cold to a body part to decrease tissue temperature, and thereby to decrease cellular metabolism, improve cellular survival, decrease inflammation, decrease pain and muscle spasm, and promote vasoconstriction. See: illustrationtable 2. Cryosurgery.Indications | Contraindications |

Acute injury or inflammation | Anesthetic skin | Acute or chronic pain | Cold allergy/cold-induced urticaria | Acute or chronic muscle spasm | Cold-induced myocardial ischemia (or other unstable heart or lung disease) | Neuralgia | Diabetes mellitus (when complicated by vascular disease or sensory loss) | Postsurgical pain and edema | Peripheral vascular disease | Use prior to rehabilitation exercises | Raynaud's phenomenon | Small, superficial, first-degree burns | Systemic lupus erythematosus | Spasticity accompanying central nervous system disorders | Uncovered open wounds | SOURCE: Adapted from Starkey, C: Therapeutic Modalities, ed 3., F. A. Davis Co., Philadelphia, 2004.
cryotherapy The use of low temperatures in medical treatment. Temperatures of about -20 C or below are useful in surgery, especially for destroying unwanted tissue such as warts, ACTINIC KERATOSIS and skin nodules (dermatofibromas). See also CRYOSURGERY.cryotherapy Method of treating a disease by the use of cold as a destructive medium. It may be used in the treatment of retinal detachment and breaks, conjunctival melanomas, lid tumours, uveitis, distichiasis and trichiasis.">cryotherapy after treatment with liquid nitrogen" href="javascript:eml2('davisTab', 'c66.jpg')"> CRYOTHERAPY: Frosting of the skin at the site of actinic keratosis after treatment with liquid nitrogen1.
