Product Information

Whereas our the present study used the anterior thigh which is a far greater surface area therefore provides greater capacity for gel absorption during massage. This effect was not due to the cooling effect of slowing metabolism from rest 28 as these temperatures were still lower than the untreated control leg which also reduced, over the same time period.

This is the first well controlled study to demonstrate that menthol gel increased cutaneous blood flow and reduced intramuscular and skin temperature without any alterations to femoral arterial blood flow and core temperature. However, the influence of bias on either the participant or investigator will have been minimal due to the objective measurements used while the participant was in the passive rested state and; 4) due to the electrode placement on the vastus lateralis it was difficult to directly massage this region which may have created a bias in measurements, although this was consistent between the 2 gels. The effect of exercise induced hyperthermia on muscle fibre conduction velocity during sustained isometric contraction. gel on musculoskeletal pain; the review covered neck, back, knee and hand pain and delayed onset of muscle soreness of elbow flexors and knee extensors.

Effect of topical menthol on ipsilateral and contralateral superficial blood flow following a bout of maximum voluntary muscle contraction. The grid was then removed whereupon the gel was gently massaged using a stroking technique grade 1 20 into the skin for 10 minutes. All participants were to be injury free and had to avoid any unaccustomed exercise during the trial that may cause delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS). The authors’ have previously used the scale during exercise induced hyperthermia 22 and found a strong relationship with core temperature increases. However, although cutaneous blood flow increases, it remains unknown where this increase arises from.

ply, luxury pocket tissues with added softening lotion, delicately fragranced with menthol and eucalyptus. Although menthol gel intramuscular and skin temperature was reduced over an extended period of time, this was likely from the evaporative effects of alcohol content in the gel rather than from any pharmacological action of the menthol. Although the authors did not explain why there were different time effects, it is likely due to different location of TRPM8 receptors in sensory nerves, providing cool sensation 35 and the vasculature, 12, 13 causing vasodilation. Ultrasound parameters were set to optimize longitudinal B-mode images of the lumen- arterial wall interface.Continuous and synchronized pulsed-wave Doppler velocities were also obtained using the ultrasound machine. Even portions of either Deep Freeze Cold Relief Gel ® (The Mentholatum Company Ltd, East Kilbride, UK) containing (3% by weight [w/w] levomenthol; 35-40% w/w ethanol) or placebo gel (The Mentholatum Company Ltd, Glasgow, Scotland) (0% w/w levomenthol; 3% w/w water; 35-40% w/w ethanol) were then placed into the holes, ensuring sufficient amounts applied by covering the skin area exposed by the holes.
