When restoring asymptomatic healthy tooth with amalgam, the normal physiologic symptom after that is:
a- Pain on hot
b- Pain on cold***
c- Pain on biting
d- Pain on sweet.
Thanks to its relaxing effect, heat is very useful against muscle contractures or cramps. The cold is beneficial on a sprain or strain to prevent swelling of the joint.
Thermotherapy, you know? It is to blow the hot and the cold for the good of the patient. Far from grandmother's remedy, their effects on pain are well documented. Their efficiency, although moderate and transient, can be very useful.
First ally painkiller, the cold. Its anti-inflammatory action relieves acute pain in cases of trauma or osteoarthritis, for example.
Scientific studies show, in fact, that it causes a decrease in the production by the body of inflammatory molecules such as cytokines or prostaglandins. It also slows the conduction velocity of the nerve fibers, and thus also has anesthetic action.
In fact, who did not apply ice cubes after a violent shock, a sprain, a sprain, a bruise? "It's a reflex action, well anchored, and for a very long time, among the French. In case of acute pain, packs left in the freezer or ice in a cloth relieve. Even a packet of frozen peas does the trick! "Says Professor Didier Bouhassira of the Ambroise-Paré Hospital Assessment and Treatment Center for Pain. Doctors also use it.
After a knee replacement, they recommend, for example, to apply cold every day. In sportsmen, the trainer arrives with his bomb of cold in case of injury. But all of this is very empirical, and the relief is often modest and short-lived.
The promise of extreme cold:
That may be why some people are betting on the cold ... extreme. For about fifteen years, cryotherapy cabins have appeared in France. They consist of diving, whole body and practically naked, in an environment at - 100, - 110 ° C for two to three minutes. Thermal shock, it seems, helps physical recovery, especially for athletes. But others try to relieve pain such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lumbar pain or fibromyalgia. "Again, it's very empirical, recognizes Didier Bouhassira.
The heat shock would slow the nervous system and the transmission of pain, but the benefit is not proven, and the centers that offer this therapy are a bit esoteric! "
The hot to ease tensions:
In contrast to the cold, the heat has a relaxing effect which induces the relaxation of the muscles and promotes the elasticity of the tissues.
This effect is related to vasodilatation that improves blood circulation.
The hot, second ally pain, is rather used in case of contractures and tissue tension (torticollis, body aches, menstrual pain, etc.) in the form of hot shower, hot water bottle or compresses impregnated with hot water.
Physiotherapists use infrared lamps that allow you to apply a hot spring and adjust the intensity according to the pain.
"Thermotherapy can reduce the use of analgesics and bring some benefit. But it is not devoid of adverse effects with the risk of occurrence of burns, either by hot or cold.
Never apply ice cubes to the skin, and be careful when handling hot water, "recalls Professor Serge Perrot, president of the French Society for the study and treatment of pain.
The application of heat is, furthermore, not recommended in case of venous insufficiency and cutaneous affections.
