Non-freezing cold injury: a multi-faceted syndrome.
We read the paper “Chronic non-freezing cold injury results in neuropathic pain due to a sensory neuropathy” by Vale and colleagues recently published in Brain with great interest. Despite the impact non-freezing cold injury (NFCI) can have on an individual’s quality of life, little research has been conducted on this condition. Indeed, in the last 10 years only 16 full papers have been publish...

Chronic non-freezing cold injury results in neuropathic pain due to a sensory neuropathy
Non-freezing cold injury develops after sustained exposure to cold temperatures, resulting in tissue cooling but not freezing. This can result in persistent sensory disturbance of the hands and feet including numbness, paraesthesia and chronic pain. Both vascular and neurological aetiologies of this pain have been suggested but remain unproven. We prospectively approached patients referred for ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Gentle Exercise Prior to a Cold Sensitivity Test used to Classify Non-Freezing Cold Injury
A cold sensitivity test (CST) is one of the assessments used to classify the level of non-freezing cold injury (NFCI) in patients presented to a cold injury clinic. The CST involves sitting in a chamber at 30°C for at least 30 min then immersing the injured site (usually a foot) in water at 15°C for 2 min. The NFCI classification is based on the skin temperature before and 5 min after immersion...
